gtk2::treepath
Gtk2::TreePath(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Gtk2::TreePath(3)
NAME
Gtk2::TreePath
HIERARCHY
Glib::Boxed
+----Gtk2::TreePath
METHODS
treepath or undef = Gtk2::TreePath->new ($path=undef)
o $path (string)
Create a new path. For convenience, if you pass a value for $path, this is just an alias for "new_from_string".
treepath = Gtk2::TreePath->new_first
treepath or undef = Gtk2::TreePath->new_from_indices ($first_index, ...)
o $first_index (integer) a non-negative index value
o ... (list) of zero or more index values
The C API reference docs for this function say to mark the end of the list with a -1, but Perl doesn't need list terminators, so don't do
that.
This is specially implemented to be available for all gtk+ versions.
treepath or undef = Gtk2::TreePath->new_from_string ($path=undef)
o $path (string)
$path->append_index ($index_)
o $index_ (integer)
integer = $a->compare ($b)
o $b (Gtk2::TreePath)
Compares two paths. If $a appears before $b in the three, returns -1. If $b appears before $a, returns 1. If the nodes are equal,
returns 0.
integer = $path->get_depth
$path->down
Moves $path to point to the first child of the current path.
list = $path->get_indices
Returns a list of integers describing the current indices of $path.
boolean = $path->is_ancestor ($descendant)
o $descendant (Gtk2::TreePath)
boolean = $path->is_descendant ($ancestor)
o $ancestor (Gtk2::TreePath)
$path->next
Moves $path to point to the next node at the current depth.
$path->prepend_index ($index_)
o $index_ (integer)
boolean = $path->prev
Moves $path to point to the previous node at the current depth, if it exists. Returns true if there is a previous node and $path was
modified.
string = $path->to_string
boolean = $path->up
Moves $path to point to its parent node; returns false if there is no parent.
