<a name="GtkBox.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>The GtkBox widget organizes child widgets into a rectangular area.</p>
<p>The rectangular area of a GtkBox is organized into either a single row
or a single column of child widgets depending upon the orientation.
Thus, all children of a GtkBox are allocated one dimension in common,
which is the height of a row, or the width of a column.</p>
<p>GtkBox uses a notion of packing. Packing refers
to adding widgets with reference to a particular position in a
<a class="link" href="GtkContainer.html" title="GtkContainer"><span class="type">GtkContainer</span></a>. For a GtkBox, there are two reference positions: the
start and the end of the box.
For a vertical <a class="link" href="GtkBox.html" title="GtkBox"><span class="type">GtkBox</span></a>, the start is defined as the top of the box and
the end is defined as the bottom. For a horizontal <a class="link" href="GtkBox.html" title="GtkBox"><span class="type">GtkBox</span></a> the start
is defined as the left side and the end is defined as the right side.</p>
<p>Use repeated calls to <a class="link" href="GtkBox.html#gtk-box-pack-start" title="gtk_box_pack_start ()"><code class="function">gtk_box_pack_start()</code></a> to pack widgets into a
GtkBox from start to end. Use <a class="link" href="GtkBox.html#gtk-box-pack-end" title="gtk_box_pack_end ()"><code class="function">gtk_box_pack_end()</code></a> to add widgets from
end to start. You may intersperse these calls and add widgets from
both ends of the same GtkBox.</p>
<p>Because GtkBox is a <a class="link" href="GtkContainer.html" title="GtkContainer"><span class="type">GtkContainer</span></a>, you may also use <a class="link" href="GtkContainer.html#gtk-container-add" title="gtk_container_add ()"><code class="function">gtk_container_add()</code></a>
to insert widgets into the box, and they will be packed with the default
values for expand and fill child properties. Use <a class="link" href="GtkContainer.html#gtk-container-remove" title="gtk_container_remove ()"><code class="function">gtk_container_remove()</code></a>
to remove widgets from the GtkBox.</p>
<p>Use <a class="link" href="GtkBox.html#gtk-box-set-homogeneous" title="gtk_box_set_homogeneous ()"><code class="function">gtk_box_set_homogeneous()</code></a> to specify whether or not all children
of the GtkBox are forced to get the same amount of space.</p>
<p>Use <a class="link" href="GtkBox.html#gtk-box-set-spacing" title="gtk_box_set_spacing ()"><code class="function">gtk_box_set_spacing()</code></a> to determine how much space will be
minimally placed between all children in the GtkBox. Note that
spacing is added between the children, while
padding added by <a class="link" href="GtkBox.html#gtk-box-pack-start" title="gtk_box_pack_start ()"><code class="function">gtk_box_pack_start()</code></a> or <a class="link" href="GtkBox.html#gtk-box-pack-end" title="gtk_box_pack_end ()"><code class="function">gtk_box_pack_end()</code></a> is added
on either side of the widget it belongs to.</p>
<p>Use <a class="link" href="GtkBox.html#gtk-box-reorder-child" title="gtk_box_reorder_child ()"><code class="function">gtk_box_reorder_child()</code></a> to move a GtkBox child to a different
place in the box.</p>
<p>Use <a class="link" href="GtkBox.html#gtk-box-set-child-packing" title="gtk_box_set_child_packing ()"><code class="function">gtk_box_set_child_packing()</code></a> to reset the expand,
fill and padding child properties.
Use <a class="link" href="GtkBox.html#gtk-box-query-child-packing" title="gtk_box_query_child_packing ()"><code class="function">gtk_box_query_child_packing()</code></a> to query these fields.</p>
<p>Note that a single-row or single-column <a class="link" href="GtkGrid.html" title="GtkGrid"><span class="type">GtkGrid</span></a> provides exactly
the same functionality as <a class="link" href="GtkBox.html" title="GtkBox"><span class="type">GtkBox</span></a>.</p>
<div class="refsect2">
<a name="id-1.3.7.2.10.12"></a><h3>CSS nodes</h3>
<p>GtkBox uses a single CSS node with name box.</p>
<p>In horizontal orientation, the nodes of the children are always arranged
from left to right. So :first-child will always select the leftmost child,
regardless of text direction.</p>
