<hr/><a name="_details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<div class="textblock"><p>A base class for box containers. </p>
<p>Abstract base class for horizontal and vertical boxes, which organize a variable number of widgets into a rectangular area. This is an abstract class and it defers choice of which way the widgets are packed to the screen to the derived classes. It provides a common interface for inserting widgets to a box indepenently of how it is shown in the screen.</p>
<p><a class="el" href="classGtk_1_1Box.html" title="A base class for box containers.">Gtk::Box</a> uses a notion of packing. Packing refers to adding widgets with reference to a particular position in a <a class="el" href="classGtk_1_1Container.html" title="Abstract container class.">Gtk::Container</a>. There are two reference positions: the start and the end of the box. For a <a class="el" href="classGtk_1_1VBox.html" title="Vertical Box for laying widgets in a vertical row.">VBox</a>, the start is defined as the top of the box and the end is defined as the bottom. For a <a class="el" href="classGtk_1_1HBox.html" title="Horizontal Box for laying widgets in a horizontal row.">HBox</a> the start is defined as the left side and the end is defined as the right side. Use repeated calls to <a class="el" href="classGtk_1_1Box.html#a31aa59034a669239c4b99a9ced5742d6" title="Left side insert a widget to a box.">pack_start()</a> to pack widgets into a <a class="el" href="classGtk_1_1Box.html" title="A base class for box containers.">Gtk::Box</a> from start to end. Use <a class="el" href="classGtk_1_1Box.html#a1a2894c6723be6147d5c80995fed843a" title="Adds child to box, packed with reference to the end of box.">pack_end()</a> to add widgets from end to start. You may intersperse these calls and add widgets from both ends of the same <a class="el" href="classGtk_1_1Box.html" title="A base class for box containers.">Gtk::Box</a>. The last widget added with <a class="el" href="classGtk_1_1Box.html#a31aa59034a669239c4b99a9ced5742d6" title="Left side insert a widget to a box.">pack_start()</a> will be placed just before the last widget added with <a class="el" href="classGtk_1_1Box.html#a1a2894c6723be6147d5c80995fed843a" title="Adds child to box, packed with reference to the end of box.">pack_end()</a></p>
