## Description

The GtkAdjustment object represents a value which has an associated lower and upper bound, together with step and page increments, and a page size. It is used within several GTK+ widgets, including GtkSpinButton, GtkViewport, and GtkRange (which is a base class for GtkScrollbar and GtkScale).

The GtkAdjustment object does not update the value itself. Instead it is left up to the owner of the GtkAdjustment to control the value.

## Functions

### gtk_adjustment_new ()

    GtkAdjustment *
    gtk_adjustment_new (gdouble value,
                        gdouble lower,
                        gdouble upper,
                        gdouble step_increment,
                        gdouble page_increment,
                        gdouble page_size);

Creates a new GtkAdjustment.

#### Parameters

value | the initial value |
lower | the minimum value |
upper | the maximum value |
step_increment | the step increment |
page_increment | the page increment |
page_size | the page size |

#### Returns

a new GtkAdjustment

### gtk_adjustment_get_value ()

    gdouble
    gtk_adjustment_get_value (GtkAdjustment *adjustment);

Gets the current value of the adjustment. See `gtk_adjustment_set_value()`.

#### Parameters

adjustment | a GtkAdjustment |

#### Returns

The current value of the adjustment

### gtk_adjustment_set_value ()

    void
    gtk_adjustment_set_value (GtkAdjustment *adjustment,
                              gdouble value);

Sets the GtkAdjustment value. The value is clamped to lie between “lower” and “upper”.

Note that for adjustments which are used in a GtkScrollbar, the effective range of allowed values goes from “lower” to “upper” - “page-size”.

#### Parameters

adjustment | a GtkAdjustment |
value | the new value |

### gtk_adjustment_clamp_page ()

    void
    gtk_adjustment_clamp_page (GtkAdjustment *adjustment,
                               gdouble lower,
                               gdouble upper);

Updates the “value” property to ensure that the range between `lower` and `upper` is in the current page (i.e. between “value” and “value” + “page-size”). If the range is larger than the page size, then only the start of it will be in the current page.

A “value-changed” signal will be emitted if the value is changed.

#### Parameters

adjustment | a GtkAdjustment |
lower | the lower value |
upper | the upper value |

### gtk_adjustment_changed ()

    void
    gtk_adjustment_changed (GtkAdjustment *adjustment);

`gtk_adjustment_changed` has been deprecated since version 3.18 and should not be used in newly-written code.

GTK+ emits “changed” itself whenever any of the properties (other than value) change

Emits a “changed” signal from the GtkAdjustment. This is typically called by the owner of the GtkAdjustment after it has changed any of the GtkAdjustment properties other than the value.

#### Parameters

adjustment | a GtkAdjustment |

### gtk_adjustment_value_changed ()

    void
    gtk_adjustment_value_changed (GtkAdjustment *adjustment);

`gtk_adjustment_value_changed` has been deprecated since version 3.18 and should not be used in newly-written code.

GTK+ emits “value-changed” itself whenever the value changes

Emits a “value-changed” signal from the GtkAdjustment. This is typically called by the owner of the GtkAdjustment after it has changed the “value” property.

#### Parameters

adjustment | a GtkAdjustment |

### gtk_adjustment_configure ()

    void
    gtk_adjustment_configure (GtkAdjustment *adjustment,
                              gdouble value,
                              gdouble lower,
                              gdouble upper,
                              gdouble step_increment,
                              gdouble page_increment,
                              gdouble page_size);

Sets all properties of the adjustment at once.

Use this function to avoid multiple emissions of the “changed” signal. See `gtk_adjustment_set_lower()` for an alternative way of compressing multiple emissions of “changed” into one.

#### Parameters

adjustment | a GtkAdjustment |
value | the new value |
lower | the new minimum value |
upper | the new maximum value |
step_increment | the new step increment |
page_increment | the new page increment |
page_size | the new page size |

### gtk_adjustment_get_upper ()

    gdouble

### gtk_adjustment_set_lower ()

    void
    gtk_adjustment_set_lower (GtkAdjustment *adjustment,
                              gdouble lower);

Sets the minimum value of the adjustment.

When setting multiple adjustment properties via their individual setters, multiple “changed” signals will be emitted. However, since the emission of the “changed” signal is tied to the emission of the “notify” signals of the changed properties, it’s possible to compress the “changed” signals into one by calling `g_object_freeze_notify()` and `g_object_thaw_notify()` around the calls to the individual setters.

Alternatively, using a single `g_object_set()` for all the properties to change, or using `gtk_adjustment_configure()` has the same effect of compressing “changed” emissions.

#### Parameters

adjustment | a GtkAdjustment |
lower | the new minimum value |

Since: 2.14

### gtk_adjustment_set_page_increment ()

    void
    gtk_adjustment_set_page_increment (GtkAdjustment *adjustment,

Sets the page increment of the adjustment.

See `gtk_adjustment_set_lower()` about how to compress multiple emissions of the “changed” signal when setting multiple adjustment properties.
