In this part of the GTK+ programming tutorial, we create a custom GTK+ widget. We use the Cairo graphics library.
CPU widget
In the next example we create a custom CPU widget.
#ifndef __MY_CPU_H__ #define __MY_CPU_H__ #include <gtk/gtk.h> #include <cairo.h> G_BEGIN_DECLS /* Standart GObject macros */ #define MY_TYPE_CPU (my_cpu_get_type()) #define MY_CPU(obj) (G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE_CAST((obj), MY_TYPE_CPU, MyCpu)) #define MY_CPU_CLASS(klass) (G_TYPE_CHECK_CLASS_CAST((klass), MY_TYPE_CPU, MyCpuClass)) #define MY_IS_CPU(obj) (G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE_TYPE((obj), MY_TYPE_CPU)) #define MY_IS_CPU_CLASS(klass) (G_TYPE_CHECK_CLASS_TYPE((klass), MY_TYPE_CPU)) #define MY_CPU_GET_CLASS(obj) (G_TYPE_INSTANCE_GET_CLASS((obj), MY_TYPE_CPU, MyCpuClass)) /* Type definition */ typedef struct _MyCpu MyCpu; typedef struct _MyCpuClass MyCpuClass; typedef struct _MyCpuPrivate MyCpuPrivate; struct _MyCpu { GtkWidget parent; /*< Private >*/ MyCpuPrivate *priv; }; struct _MyCpuClass { GtkWidgetClass parent_class; }; /* Public API */ GType my_cpu_get_type(void) G_GNUC_CONST; GtkWidget *my_cpu_new(void); gdouble my_cpu_get_percent(MyCpu *cpu); void my_cpu_set_percent(MyCpu *cpu, gdouble sel); G_END_DECLS #endif /* __MY_CPU_H__ */
In the mycpu.h
file, we define types, macros, and functions for the custom widget.
/* mycpu.c */ #include "mycpu.h" /* Properties enum */ enum { P_0, /* Padding */ P_PERCENT }; /* Private data structure */ struct _MyCpuPrivate { gdouble percent; GdkWindow *window; }; const gint WIDTH = 80; const gint HEIGHT = 100; /* Internal API */ static void my_cpu_set_property(GObject *object, guint prop_id, const GValue *value, GParamSpec *pspec); static void my_cpu_get_property(GObject *object, guint prop_id, GValue *value, GParamSpec *pspec); static void my_cpu_size_request(GtkWidget *widget, GtkRequisition *requisition); static void my_cpu_size_allocate(GtkWidget *widget, GtkAllocation *allocation); static void my_cpu_realize(GtkWidget *widget); static gboolean my_cpu_expose(GtkWidget *widget, GdkEventExpose *event); /* Define type */ G_DEFINE_TYPE(MyCpu, my_cpu, GTK_TYPE_WIDGET) /* Initialization */ static void my_cpu_class_init(MyCpuClass *klass) { GObjectClass *g_class; GtkWidgetClass *w_class; GParamSpec *pspec; g_class = G_OBJECT_CLASS(klass); w_class = GTK_WIDGET_CLASS(klass); /* Override widget class methods */ g_class->set_property = my_cpu_set_property; g_class->get_property = my_cpu_get_property; w_class->realize = my_cpu_realize; w_class->size_request = my_cpu_size_request; w_class->size_allocate = my_cpu_size_allocate; w_class->expose_event = my_cpu_expose; /* Install property */ pspec = g_param_spec_double("percent", "Percent", "What CPU load should be displayed", 0, 1, 0, G_PARAM_READWRITE | G_PARAM_STATIC_STRINGS); g_object_class_install_property(g_class, P_PERCENT, pspec); /* Add private data */ g_type_class_add_private(g_class, sizeof(MyCpuPrivate)); } static void my_cpu_init(MyCpu *cpu) { MyCpuPrivate *priv; priv = G_TYPE_INSTANCE_GET_PRIVATE(cpu, MY_TYPE_CPU, MyCpuPrivate); gtk_widget_set_has_window(GTK_WIDGET(cpu), TRUE); /* Set default values */ priv->percent = 0; /* Create cache for faster access */ cpu->priv = priv; } /* Overriden virtual methods */ static void my_cpu_set_property(GObject *object, guint prop_id, const GValue *value, GParamSpec *pspec) { MyCpu *cpu = MY_CPU(object); switch(prop_id) { case P_PERCENT: my_cpu_set_percent(cpu, g_value_get_double(value)); break; default: G_OBJECT_WARN_INVALID_PROPERTY_ID(object, prop_id, pspec); break; } } static void my_cpu_get_property(GObject *object, guint prop_id, GValue *value, GParamSpec *pspec) { MyCpu *cpu = MY_CPU(object); switch(prop_id) { case P_PERCENT: g_value_set_double(value, cpu->priv->percent); break; default: G_OBJECT_WARN_INVALID_PROPERTY_ID(object, prop_id, pspec); break; } } static void my_cpu_realize(GtkWidget *widget) { MyCpuPrivate *priv = MY_CPU(widget)->priv; GtkAllocation alloc; GdkWindowAttr attrs; guint attrs_mask; gtk_widget_set_realized(widget, TRUE); gtk_widget_get_allocation(widget, &alloc); attrs.x = alloc.x; attrs.y = alloc.y; attrs.width = alloc.width; attrs.height = alloc.height; attrs.window_type = GDK_WINDOW_CHILD; attrs.wclass = GDK_INPUT_OUTPUT; attrs.event_mask = gtk_widget_get_events(widget) | GDK_EXPOSURE_MASK; attrs_mask = GDK_WA_X | GDK_WA_Y; priv->window = gdk_window_new(gtk_widget_get_parent_window(widget), &attrs, attrs_mask); gdk_window_set_user_data(priv->window, widget); gtk_widget_set_window(widget, priv->window); widget->style = gtk_style_attach(gtk_widget_get_style( widget ), priv->window); gtk_style_set_background(widget->style, priv->window, GTK_STATE_NORMAL); } static void my_cpu_size_request(GtkWidget *widget, GtkRequisition *requisition) { requisition->width = WIDTH; requisition->height = HEIGHT; } static void my_cpu_size_allocate(GtkWidget *widget, GtkAllocation *allocation) { MyCpuPrivate *priv; priv = MY_CPU(widget)->priv; gtk_widget_set_allocation(widget, allocation); if (gtk_widget_get_realized(widget)) { gdk_window_move_resize(priv->window, allocation->x, allocation->y, WIDTH, HEIGHT); } } static gboolean my_cpu_expose(GtkWidget *widget, GdkEventExpose *event) { MyCpuPrivate *priv = MY_CPU(widget)->priv; cairo_t *cr; gint limit; gint i; cr = gdk_cairo_create(event->window); cairo_translate(cr, 0, 7); cairo_set_source_rgb(cr, 0, 0, 0); cairo_paint(cr); limit = 20 - priv->percent / 5; for (i = 1; i <= 20; i++) { if (i > limit) { cairo_set_source_rgb(cr, 0.6, 1.0, 0); } else { cairo_set_source_rgb(cr, 0.2, 0.4, 0); } cairo_rectangle(cr, 8, i * 4, 30, 3); cairo_rectangle(cr, 42, i * 4, 30, 3); cairo_fill(cr); } cairo_destroy(cr); return TRUE; } /* Public API */ GtkWidget *my_cpu_new(void) { return(g_object_new(MY_TYPE_CPU, NULL)); } gdouble my_cpu_get_percent(MyCpu *cpu) { g_return_val_if_fail(MY_IS_CPU(cpu), 0); return(cpu->priv->percent); } void my_cpu_set_percent(MyCpu *cpu, gdouble sel) { g_return_if_fail(MY_IS_CPU(cpu)); cpu->priv->percent = sel; gtk_widget_queue_draw(GTK_WIDGET(cpu)); }
The mycpu.c
is the implementation of the CPU widget. The CPU widget is a GtkWidget
on which we draw with Cairo API. We draw a black background and 40 small rectangles. The rectangles are drawn in two colours: dark green and bright green colour. The GtkVScale
widget controls the number of the bright green rectangles drawn on the widget.
#include "mycpu.h" void cb_changed(GtkRange *range, GtkWidget *cpu) { my_cpu_set_percent(MY_CPU(cpu), gtk_range_get_value(range)); } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { GtkWidget *window; GtkWidget *hbox; GtkWidget *vbox; GtkWidget *cpu; GtkWidget *scale; gtk_init(&argc, &argv); window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL); gtk_container_set_border_width(GTK_CONTAINER(window), 15); gtk_window_set_title(GTK_WINDOW(window), "CPU widget"); vbox = gtk_vbox_new(FALSE, 0); hbox = gtk_hbox_new(FALSE, 25); cpu = my_cpu_new(); gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(hbox), cpu, FALSE, FALSE, 0); scale = gtk_vscale_new_with_range(0, 100, 1); gtk_scale_set_draw_value(GTK_SCALE(scale), FALSE); gtk_range_set_inverted(GTK_RANGE(scale), TRUE); gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(hbox), scale, FALSE, FALSE, 0); gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(vbox), hbox, FALSE, FALSE, 0); gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), vbox); g_signal_connect(scale, "value-changed", G_CALLBACK(cb_changed), cpu); g_signal_connect(window, "destroy", G_CALLBACK(gtk_main_quit), NULL); gtk_widget_show_all(window); gtk_main(); return 0; }
This is the main file. We create the custom CPU widget and make it work with the GtkVScale
widget.
gcc -Wall $(pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0) -o mycpu.o -c mycpu.c gcc -Wall $(pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0) -o main.o -c main.c gcc -o test_cpu main.o mycpu.o $(pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0)
With these commands, we build the example.
In this chapter we have created a custom GTK+ widget.
