Description

The W(Alignment) widget controls the alignment and size of its child widget. It has four settings: xscale, yscale, xalign, and yalign.

The scale settings are used to specify how much the child widget should expand to fill the space allocated to the W(Alignment). The values can range from 0 (meaning the child doesn't expand at all) to 1 (meaning the child expands to fill all of the available space).

The align settings are used to place the child widget within the available area. The values range from 0 (top or left) to 1 (bottom or right). Of course, if the scale settings are both set to 1, the alignment settings have no effect.

Description

xalign :the horizontal alignment of the child widget, from 0 (left) to 1 (right).
yalign :the vertical alignment of the child widget, from 0 (top) to 1 (bottom).
xscale :the amount that the child widget expands horizontally to fill up unused space, from 0 to 1. A value of 0 indicates that the child widget should never expand. A value of 1 indicates that the child widget will expand to fill all of the space allocated for the GTK2.Alignment.
yscale :the amount that the child widget expands vertically to fill up unused space, from 0 to 1. The values are similar to xscale.
