I don't think this is exactly what Benjamin meant, i.e. we already have that with gtk_widget_get_allocated_size. > Widgets need the content size of themeselves, and the outer size of their > children. Why does "outer size" include css margins? I don't think they are ever relevant for anything, just like widget margins never really are. gtk_widget_size_allocate_with_baseline could simply remove those from the widget size just like it does with widget margins. that way we could position popovers for buttons in headerbars properly... > We should introduce new getters for content size and outer size, and phase > out > get_allocation, which is defined in terms of the parent window - not very > useful > anymore. get_allocation can return whatever we want of course, and in wip/baedert/drawing, those coordinates are not relative to the parent window, but to the parent widget's content allocation. Anyway, the new API would e.g. be 1) gtk_widget_get_outer_allocation that returns the size of the widget's content allocation plus CSS padding and border (not margin IMO). the x/y returned are relative to the parent widget's content allocation. This way, the returned allocation can directly be used to e.g. check if the given coordinates in a gesture handler are inside a (direct) child widget's border allocation (so use the current gadget terminology). 2) gtk_widget_get_some_allocation which returns the widget's content allocation, relative to it's...? To what? Ideally this should cover the "is the current coordinate that I got from a gesture handler even inside this widget's border allocation" use case, so the returned allocation should be relative to the widget's own content allocation and return negative x/y values. That all being said, GdkWindows won't just go away like that, we still need them for popovers and toplevel windows at least. And popovers can contain other popovers... so gtk_widget_translate_coordinates will have to handle that. Does anything enforce those windows to influence widget coordinates in any way? I've so far just encountered that having a O(1) and very-fast way of getting window-relative widget coordinates is handy for drawing invalidation. ___ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
Re: Widget, drawing and event coordinates
Trying to summarize an irc discussion on this topic: We generally agreed that the content area should be what all vfuncs (measure, size_allocate, snapshot), events and signal handlers operate in. The other size that is relevant for widgets is the 'outer' size including the content size, css padding, border and margin, and any extra space that the widget might be allocated. Widgets need the content size of themeselves, and the outer size of their children. We should introduce new getters for content size and outer size, and phase out get_allocation, which is defined in terms of the parent window - not very useful anymore. ___ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list

Because we pass the content allocation of the widget to size-allocate,
so it can be used to allocate child widgets. Since that is relative to
the widget's content allocation, x/y is 0/0. The parent-relative
allocation is set before the ->size_allocate implementation is called.

Yes. Content postion is the widget allocation as returned by
gtk_widget_get_allocation (atm) plus margin,border,padding.

No it doesn't, that's just how it is right now and one of the points to
be discussed. _get_allocation returns the widget allocation relative to
the parent's content allocation.

Not sure i follow here. If it is relative to the parent, why would x/y by 0?

Can we define a few terms here ? I would like to make sure we all have
the same understanding of 'content', for example.
Do we use this https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/box.html as reference ?

I don't think there is any problem with negative coordinates, apart from
not being used this happening ?

How so ? Doesn't it return the content allocation, which you said earlier is
(0, 0, allocated-width, allocated-height) ?
