set_bounds


Description:

[ CCode ( cname = "gimp_scale_entry_set_bounds" ) ]
public void set_bounds (double lower, double upper, bool limit_scale)

By default the SpinButton and Scale will have the same range.

In some case, you want to set a different range. In particular when the finale range is huge, the Scale might become nearly useless as every tiny slider move would dramatically update the value. In this case, it is common to set the Scale to a smaller common range, while the SpinButton would allow for the full allowed range. This function allows this. Obviously the Adjustment of both widgets would be synced but if the set value is out of the Scale range, the slider would simply show at one extreme.

If limit_scale is false though, it would sync back both widgets range to the new values.

Note that the step and page increments are updated when the range is updated according to some common usage algorithm which should work if you don't have very specific needs. If you want to customize the step increments yourself, you may call set_increments

Parameters:

this

The GtkScaleEntry.

lower

the lower value for the whole widget if limit_scale is false, or only for the Scale if true.

upper

the upper value for the whole widget if limit_scale is false, or only for the SpinButton if true.

limit_scale

Whether the range should only apply to the Scale or if it should share its GtkAdjustement with the SpinButton. If true, both lower and upper must be included in current SpinButton range.
