Hi everybody,
I am fairly new to pygtk, so please accept my apologies if this isn't a
question for this list, or if this is trivial.
It is a font related question and pertains to pygtk 2.6.3 / gtk 2.8.9
In context of a larger application I do need to set and know the exact
width/height of a gtk.Entry(). Because alignment is important a
monospace
font is used. To set the width for the gtk.Entry() widget I use
entry.set_width_chars(n) as shown below.
I hoped that the below code would open a gtk.Entry() displaying the full text -
instead the gtk.Entry() is shorter than the string, differently
depending on the
selected font size, almost as if the width of the gtk.Entry() widget was
computed for a different font.
Is this not the preferred/correct way to request the gtk.Entry() size? Should I
be using a different version of pygtk/gtk?
thank you for any help,
anton
#!/usr/bin/python
import pygtk
import pango
import gtk
w= gtk.Window()
e= gtk.Entry(65)
mono= pango.FontDescription('monospace 11')
e.modify_font(mono)
e.set_width_chars(65)
aText= 'ABCDEFGHIJ abcdefghij ---------- ririririri ---------- oooooooooo'
e.set_text(aText)
w.add(e)
w.show_all()
gtk.main()
