GtkTable was deprecated since Gtk version 3.4 and should not be used
in newly-written code. It should be replaced by GtkGrid.
https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkTable.htmlhttps://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkGrid.html
GtkTable is mapped to GtkGrid following these rules:
----------------
- n_(row|columns) are removed because they are not required for
GtkGrid
----------------
- Missing "left_attach" and "top_attach" are added with value set to
0.
Example:
<property name="left_attach">0</property>
<property name="top_attach">0</property>
----------------
- (right_attach - left_attach) > 1 is stored in new "width" property
Example:
In case of: (GtkTable)
<property name="left_attach">1</property>
<property name="right_attach">4</property>
Equivalent to: (GtkGrid)
<property name="width">3</property>
----------------
- (bottom_attach - top_attach) > 1 is stored in new "height" property
Example:
In case of: (GtkTable)
<property name="top_attach">1</property>
<property name="bottom_attach">3</property>
Equivalent to: (GtkGrid)
<property name="height">2</property>
----------------
- Missing packing "(x|y)_options" property is represented as no
"(h|v)align" object property and "(h|v)expand" object property
set to "true"
Example:
In case of: (GtkTable)
# Missing y_options property
Equivalent to: (GtkGrid)
<property name="vexpand">True</property>
# No valign property
----------------
- Packing "(x|y)_options" property set to "GTK_FILL" is represented
as no "(h|v)expand" object property and no "(h|v)align" object
property
Example:
In case of: (GtkTable)
<property name="x_options">GTK_FILL</property>
Equivalent to: (GtkGrid)
# No hexpand property
# No halign property
----------------
- Packing "(x|y)_options" property set to "GTK_EXPAND" is
represented as "(h|v)expand" object property set to "true" and
"(h|v)align" object property set to "center"
Example:
In case of: (GtkTable)
<property name="x_options">GTK_EXPAND</property>
Equivalent to: (GtkGrid)
<property name="hexpand">True</property>
<property name="halign">center</property>
----------------
- Packing "(x|y)_options" property set to nothing is represented as
"(h|v)align" object property set to "center"
Example:
In case of: (GtkTable)
<property name="y_options" />
Equivalent to: (GtkGrid)
<property name="valign">center</property>
----------------
- All "(x|y)_options" rules apply but don't change existing
"(h|v)align" and "(h|v)expand" object properties
----------------
- Packing "x_padding" property is converted to "margin_(start|end)"
object property
Example:
In case of: (GtkTable)
<property name="x_padding">6</property>
Equivalent to: (GtkGrid)
<property name="margin_start">6</property>
<property name="margin_end">6</property>
----------------
- Packing "y_padding" property is converted to "margin_(top|bottom)"
object property
Example:
In case of: (GtkTable)
<property name="y_padding">6</property>
Equivalent to: (GtkGrid)
<property name="margin_top">6</property>
<property name="margin_bottom">6</property>
Problem:
- GtkHBox and GtkVBox have been deprecated since version 3.2 and should not be used in newly-written code.
Solution: Replace GtkHBox and GtkVBox with GtkBox.
- I have used the find function in text-editor to find all occurances of "GtkVBox" and "GtkHBox" then replaced them with "GtkBox".
- Then append on a new line immediately after "<property name="orientation">...</property>" with value "horizontal" or "vertical" accordingly.
We need to bump the gtk dep to at least 3.10 for GtkRevealer usage,
and I want to bump the pygobject higher to drop some bug workarounds.
But since the oldest thing I have that meets those requirements is
RHEL/Centos 7.3 which is at 3.14 for both, set those as the minimum
versions since that's what I'll be testing against. They are still
1.5 years old and only a bit over a year newer than the previous
versions, so it's not a huge change.
