</h1><div class="doc"><p><code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#t:Box">Box</a></code> is an abstract widget which encapsulates functionality for a
particular kind of container, one that organizes a variable number of
widgets into a rectangular area. <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#t:Box">Box</a></code> currently has two derived classes,
<code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Layout-HBox.html#t:HBox">HBox</a></code> and <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Layout-VBox.html#t:VBox">VBox</a></code>.
</p><p>The rectangular area of a <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#t:Box">Box</a></code> is organized into either a single row or
a single column of child widgets depending upon whether the box is of type
<code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Layout-HBox.html#t:HBox">HBox</a></code> or <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Layout-VBox.html#t:VBox">VBox</a></code>, respectively. Thus, all children of a <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#t:Box">Box</a></code> are allocated
one dimension in common, which is the height of a row, or the width of a
column.
</p><p><code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#t:Box">Box</a></code> uses a notion of <em>packing</em>. Packing refers to adding widgets with
reference to a particular position in a <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Container.html#t:Container">Container</a></code>. For a <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#t:Box">Box</a></code>, there are
two reference positions: the <em>start</em> and the <em>end</em> of the box. For a <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Layout-VBox.html#t:VBox">VBox</a></code>,
the start is defined as the top of the box and the end is defined as the
bottom. For a <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Layout-HBox.html#t:HBox">HBox</a></code> the start is defined as the left side and the end is
defined as the right side.
</p><p>Use repeated calls to <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#v:boxPackStart">boxPackStart</a></code> to pack widgets into a <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#t:Box">Box</a></code> from
start to end. Use <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#v:boxPackEnd">boxPackEnd</a></code> to add widgets from end to start. You may
intersperse these calls and add widgets from both ends of the same <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#t:Box">Box</a></code>.
Besides adding widgets at the start or the end of a box, you can also
specify the padding around each widget (in pixels) and a <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#t:Packing">Packing</a></code>
parameter that denotes how to fill up unused space.
The functions <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#v:boxPackStartDefaults">boxPackStartDefaults</a></code> or <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#v:boxPackEndDefaults">boxPackEndDefaults</a></code>
are a convenient way to pack widgets into a <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#t:Box">Box</a></code> without specifying
these extra paramters.
</p><p>While the right amount of padding around each widget is a matter of
appearance, the <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#t:Packing">Packing</a></code> paramter specifies the way the widgets in
the container behave when the window is resized and thereby affect
the usability. Hence, once you have created a window, you should resize
it and see if the widgets behave as expected. The <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#t:Packing">Packing</a></code> parameter of
each child widget determines how excess space is used by that particular
widget. See the description of <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#t:Packing">Packing</a></code> for a detailed explanaition.
</p><p>Because <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#t:Box">Box</a></code> is a <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Container.html#t:Container">Container</a></code>, you may also use
<code>Graphics.UI.Gtk.Abstract.Container.containerAdd</code> to insert widgets into
the box, and they will be packed as if with <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#v:boxPackStartDefaults">boxPackStartDefaults</a></code>. Use
<code>Graphics.UI.Gtk.Abstract.Container.containerRemove</code> to remove widgets
from the <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#t:Box">Box</a></code>.
</p><p>Use <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#v:boxSetHomogeneous">boxSetHomogeneous</a></code> to specify whether or not all children of the
<code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#t:Box">Box</a></code> are forced to get the same amount of space. Note that the
<code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#t:Packing">Packing</a></code> options <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#v:PackNatural">PackNatural</a></code> and <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#v:PackRepel">PackRepel</a></code> coincide if space is
allotted homogeneously.
</p><p>Use <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#v:boxSetSpacing">boxSetSpacing</a></code> to determine how much space will be minimally placed
between all children in the <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#t:Box">Box</a></code>.
</p><p>Use <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#v:boxReorderChild">boxReorderChild</a></code> to move a <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#t:Box">Box</a></code> child to a different place in the
box.
</p><p>Use <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#v:boxSetChildPacking">boxSetChildPacking</a></code> to reset the expand, fill, and padding
attributes of any <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#t:Box">Box</a></code> child. Use <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#v:boxQueryChildPacking">boxQueryChildPacking</a></code> to query these
fields.

</p><ul><li> The <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#t:Packing">Packing</a></code> parameter determines how the child behaves in the horizontal
or vertical way in an <code>Graphics.UI.Gtk.Layout.HBox</code> or
<code>Graphics.UI.Gtk.Layout.VBox</code>, respectively. <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#v:PackNatural">PackNatural</a></code>
means the child is as big as it reqests. It will stay at the start of the
end of a <code>Graphics.UI.Gtk.Layout.Box</code> if there is more space available.
All children packed with <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#v:PackRepel">PackRepel</a></code> will be padded on both sides with
additional space. <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#v:PackGrow">PackGrow</a></code> will increase the size of a widget so that it
covers the available space. A menu bar, for instance, should always
stay at the top of a window and should only occupy as little space
as possible. Hence it should be packed at the start of a
<code>Graphics.UI.Gtk.Layout.VBox</code> with
the packing option <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#v:PackNatural">PackNatural</a></code>. The working area of a window
(e.g. the text area in an editor) should expand when the window is
resized. Here the packing option <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#v:PackGrow">PackGrow</a></code> is the right choice and
it is irrelevant whether the main area is inserted at the start or
the end of a box. Finally <code><a href="Graphics-UI-Gtk-Abstract-Box.html#v:PackRepel">PackRepel</a></code> is most useful in a window
where no widget can make use of excess space. Examples include a
dialog box without list boxes or text fields.
