Method

ClutterActorallocate_preferred_size

Declaration [src]

void
clutter_actor_allocate_preferred_size (
  ClutterActor* self,
  float x,
  float y
)

Description [src]

Allocates the natural size of self.

This function is a utility call for ClutterActor implementations that allocates the actor’s preferred natural size. It can be used by fixed layout managers (like ClutterGroup or so called ‘composite actors’) inside the Clutter.ActorClass.allocate implementation to give each child exactly how much space it requires, regardless of the size of the parent.

This function is not meant to be used by applications. It is also not meant to be used outside the implementation of the ClutterActorClass.allocate virtual function.

Parameters

x

Type: float

The actor’s X coordinate.

y

Type: float

The actor’s Y coordinate.
