# Gtk::Arrow Class Reference
[Widgets]

Inheritance diagram for Gtk::Arrow:

List of all members.

## Detailed Description

Produces an arrow pointing in one of the four cardinal directions.

This is intended for use where a directional arrow (in one of the four cardinal directions) is desired. As such, it has very limited functionality and basically only draws itself in a particular direction and with a particular shadow type.

Gtk::Arrow will fill any space alloted to it, but since it is inherited from Gtk::Misc, it can be padded and/or aligned, to fill exactly the space the programmer desires.

The Arrow widget looks like this:

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly<ArrowType> Gtk::Arrow::property_arrow_type | ( |  | ) | const

The direction the arrow should point.

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
  A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Glib::PropertyProxy<ArrowType> Gtk::Arrow::property_arrow_type | ( |  | ) |

The direction the arrow should point.

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
  A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly<ShadowType> Gtk::Arrow::property_shadow_type | ( |  | ) | const

Appearance of the shadow surrounding the arrow.

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

void Gtk::Arrow::set | ( | ArrowType | arrow_type,
|  | ShadowType | shadow_type |
| ) |  |  |

Sets the direction and shadow of this Arrow.

Parameters:

  | arrow_type | A Gtk::ArrowType enum describing what arrow type to set this Arrow to.
  | shadow_type | A Gtk::ShadowType enum describing what shadow type to set this Arrow to.

Gtk::Arrow* wrap | ( | GtkArrow * | object,
|  | bool | take_copy = `false` |
| ) |  |  | `[related]`

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters:

  | object | The C instance.
  | take_copy | False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.

Returns:
