SYNOPSIS

#include <agar/core.h>
#include <agar/gui.h>

DESCRIPTION

Buttons, labels and pixmaps in an AG_Fixed

The AG_Fixed container widgets positions its children at specific locations given in pixels. It is useful for positioning cosmetic components applications such as games, running at fixed resolutions.

INHERITANCE HIERARCHY

AG_Object(3)-> AG_Widget(3)-> AG_Fixed.

INITIALIZATION

AG_Fixed * AG_FixedNew (AG_Widget *parent, Uint flags)

The AG_FixedNew() function allocates, initializes, and attaches a new AG_Fixed widget. The flags may include:

AG_FIXED_FILLBG	Fill the widget background with FIXED_BG_COLOR.
AG_FIXED_BOX	Draw a decorative 3D-style box in the background.
AG_FIXED_FRAME	Draw a decorative frame in the background.
AG_FIXED_NO_UPDATE	Disable automatic invocation of AG_WidgetUpdate(3) whenever widgets are repositioned. As an optimisation when large number of widgets are to be positioned, this option can be used and AG_WidgetUpdate(3) manually invoked only once all widgets are in place.
AG_FIXED_HFILL	Expand horizontally in parent (equivalent to invoking AG_ExpandHoriz(3)).
AG_FIXED_VFILL	Expand vertically in parent (equivalent to invoking AG_ExpandVert(3)).
AG_FIXED_EXPAND	Shorthand for AG_FIXED_HFILL\|AG_FIXED_VFILL.

CHILD WIDGETS

void AG_FixedPut (AG_Fixed *fixed, void *child, int x, int y)

void AG_FixedDel (AG_Fixed *fixed, void *child)

void AG_FixedSize (AG_Fixed *fixed, void *child, int width, int height)

void AG_FixedMove (AG_Fixed *fixed, void *child, int new_x, int new_y)

The AG_FixedPut() function attaches the widget child and positions it at the given coordinates. AG_FixedDel() detaches the given widget.

Alternatively, you can avoid AG_FixedPut() and AG_FixedDel() altogether and instead use AG_ObjectAttach(3) and AG_ObjectDetach(3) followed by calls to AG_FixedSize() and AG_FixedMove().

Functions AG_FixedSize() and AG_FixedMove() set the size and location of a given widget in pixels.

EVENTS

The AG_Fixed widget does not generate any event.
