Variable: GtkIconView

const GtkIconView: "GtkIconView"

Defined in: generated/jsx.ts:16345

GtkIconView is a widget which displays data in a grid of icons.

An example GtkIconView

GtkIconView provides an alternative view on a GtkTreeModel. It displays the model as a grid of icons with labels. Like Gtk.TreeView, it allows to select one or multiple items (depending on the selection mode, see Gtk.IconView.set_selection_mode). In addition to selection with the arrow keys, GtkIconView supports rubberband selection, which is controlled by dragging the pointer.

Note that if the tree model is backed by an actual tree store (as opposed to a flat list where the mapping to icons is obvious), GtkIconView will only display the first level of the tree and ignore the tree’s branches.

CSS nodes​

iconview.view
╰── [rubberband]

GtkIconView has a single CSS node with name iconview and style class .view. For rubberband selection, a subnode with name rubberband is used.
