## Detailed Description

A frame that constrains its child to a particular aspect ratio.

The Gtk::AspectFrame is useful when you want pack a widget so that it can resize but always retains the same aspect ratio. For instance, one might be drawing a small preview of a larger image. Because it derives from Gtk::Frame, it can draw a label and a frame around the child. The frame will be "shrink-wrapped" to the size of the child.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual Gtk::AspectFrame::~AspectFrame | ( | ) | `[virtual]`

Gtk::AspectFrame::AspectFrame | ( | const Glib::ustring & | label = `Glib::ustring()`,
|  | Align | xalign = `Gtk::ALIGN_CENTER`,
|  | Align | yalign = `Gtk::ALIGN_CENTER`,
|  | float | ratio = `1.0`,
|  | bool | obey_child = `false`
| ) |  | `[explicit]`

Constructor to create a new AspectFrame object.

Parameters:

  label | Label text.
  xalign | Horizontal alignment of the child within the allocation of this AspectFrame. For possible values, see Gtk::Align.
  yalign | Vertical alignment of the child within the allocation of this AspectFrame. For possible values, see Gtk::Align.
  ratio | The desired aspect ratio.
  obey_child | If `true`, ratio is ignored and the aspect ratio is taken from the requisition of the child.

Gtk::AspectFrame::AspectFrame | ( | const Glib::ustring & | label,
|  | float | xalign,
|  | float | yalign,
|  | float | ratio = `1.0`,
|  | bool | obey_child = `false`
| ) |  | `[explicit]`

Constructor to create a new AspectFrame object.

Parameters:

  label | Label text.
  xalign | Horizontal alignment of the child within the allocation of this AspectFrame. This ranges from 0.0 (left aligned) to 1.0 (right aligned).
  yalign | Vertical alignment of the child within the allocation of this AspectFrame. This ranges from 0.0 (top aligned) to 1.0 (bottom aligned).
  ratio | The desired aspect ratio.
  obey_child | If `true`, ratio is ignored and the aspect ratio is taken from the requisition of the child.

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly<bool> Gtk::AspectFrame::property_obey_child | ( | ) | const

Force aspect ratio to match that of the frame's child.

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
  A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
