Gtk2::CellLayout - wrapper for GtkCellLayout

=for position SYNOPSIS

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 # This is an abstract interface; the CellLayout interface is
 # implemented by concrete classes like ComboBox and TreeViewColumn.
 # See the discussion for details on creating your own CellLayout.
 # This synopsis assumes you already have an instance in $cell_layout.

 # Add a cell renderer that shows the pixbuf in column 2 of the
 # associated TreeModel.  It will take up only the necessary space
 # ("expand" => FALSE).
 my $cell = Gtk2::CellRendererPixbuf->new ();
 $cell_layout->pack_start ($cell, FALSE);
 $cell_layout->add_attribute ($cell, pixbuf => 2);

 # Add another cell renderer that gets the "text" property from
 # column 3 of the associated TreeModel, and takes up all remaining
 # horizontal space ("expand" => TRUE).
 my $cell = Gtk2::CellRendererText->new (); 
 $cell_layout->pack_start ($cell, TRUE);
 $cell_layout->add_attribute ($cell, text => 3);

=for position DESCRIPTION

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Gtk2::CellLayout is an interface to be implemented by all objects which
want to provide a Gtk2::TreeViewColumn-like API for packing cells,
setting attributes and data funcs.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 $cell_layout-E<gt>B<add_attribute> ($cell, $attribute, $column)

=over

=item * $cell (Gtk2::CellRenderer) 

=item * $attribute (string) 

=item * $column (integer) 

=back

Adds an attribute mapping to the list in I<$cell_layout>.  The I<$column> is
the column of the model from which to get a value, and the I<$attribute> is
the property of I<$cell> to be set from the value.  So, for example, if
column 2 of the model contains strings, you could have the "text" attribute
of a Gtk2::CellRendererText get its values from column 2.

=head2 $cell_layout-E<gt>B<set_attributes> ($cell, ...)

=over

=item * $cell (Gtk2::CellRenderer) 

=item * ... (list) list of property name and column number pairs.

=back

Sets the pairs in the I<...> list as the attributes of I<$cell_layout>, as
with repeated calls to C<add_attribute>.  All existing attributes are removed,
and replaced with the new attributes.

=head2 $cell_layout-E<gt>B<set_cell_data_func> ($cell, $func, $func_data=undef)

=over

=item * $cell (Gtk2::CellRenderer) 

=item * $func (scalar) 

=item * $func_data (scalar) 

=back

Sets up I<$cell_layout> to call I<$func> to set up attributes of I<$cell>,
instead of the standard attribute mapping.  I<$func> may be undef to remove
an older callback.  I<$func> will receive these parameters:

=over

=item $cell_layout  The cell layout instance

=item $cell         The cell renderer to set up

=item $model        The tree model

=item $iter         TreeIter of the row for which to set the values

=item $data         The I<$func_data> passed to C<set_cell_data_func>

=back


=head2 list = $cell_layout-E<gt>B<get_cells> 

Fetch all of the cell renderers which have been added to I<$cell_layout>.

Since: gtk+ 2.12

=head2 $cell_layout-E<gt>B<clear> 

Unsets all the mappings on all renderers on I<$cell_layout> and removes all
renderers attached to it.

=head2 $cell_layout-E<gt>B<clear_attributes> ($cell)

=over

=item * $cell (Gtk2::CellRenderer) 

=back

Clears all existing attributes previously set with for I<$cell> with
C<add_attribute> or C<set_attributes>.

=head2 $cell_layout-E<gt>B<pack_end> ($cell, $expand)

=over

=item * $cell (Gtk2::CellRenderer) 

=item * $expand (boolean) 

=back

Like C<pack_start>, but adds from the end of the layout instead of the
beginning.

=head2 $cell_layout-E<gt>B<pack_start> ($cell, $expand)

=over

=item * $cell (Gtk2::CellRenderer) 

=item * $expand (boolean) 

=back

Packs I<$cell> into the beginning of I<$cell_layout>.  If I<$expand> is false,
then I<$cell> is allocated no more space than it needs.  Any unused space is
divided evenly between cells for which I<$expand> is true.

=head2 $cell_layout-E<gt>B<reorder> ($cell, $position)

=over

=item * $cell (Gtk2::CellRenderer) 

=item * $position (integer) 

=back

Re-insert I<$cell> at I<$position>.  I<$cell> must already be packed into
I<$cell_layout>.

=head1 CREATING A CUSTOM CELL LAYOUT

GTK+ provides several CellLayout implementations, such as Gtk2::TreeViewColumn
and Gtk2::ComboBox.  To create your own object that implements the CellLayout
interface and therefore can be used to display CellRenderers, you need to
add Gtk2::CellLayout to your class's "interfaces" list, like this:

  package MyLayout;
  use Gtk2;
  use Glib::Object::Subclass
      Gtk2::Widget::,
      interfaces => [ Gtk2::CellLayout:: ],
      ;

This will cause perl to call several virtual methods with ALL_CAPS_NAMES
when GTK+ attempts to perform certain actions.  You simply provide (or
override) those methods with perl code.  The methods map rather directly
to the object interface, so it should be easy to figure out what they
should do.  Those methods are:

=over

=item PACK_START ($cell_layout, $cell, $expand)

=item PACK_END ($cell_layout, $cell, $expand)

=item CLEAR ($cell_layout)

=item ADD_ATTRIBUTE ($cell_layout, $cell, $attribute, $column)

=item SET_CELL_DATA_FUNC ($cell_layout, $cell, $func, $data)

=item CLEAR_ATTRIBUTES ($cell_layout, $cell)

=item REORDER ($cell_layout, $cell, $position)

=item list = GET_CELLS ($cell_layout)

=back
