Functions

Methods
wibox.container.mirror ([widget[, reflection]])
Returns a new mirror container. A mirror container mirrors a given widget. Use :set_widget() to set the widget and :set_horizontal() and :set_vertical() for the direction. horizontal and vertical are by default false which doesn’t change anything.
  • widget The widget to display. (optional)
  • reflection A table describing the reflection to apply. (optional)

Returns:

    table A new mirror container

Object properties

widget
The widget to be reflected.

Type:

reflection
Get the reflection of this mirror layout.

Type:

  • reflection A table of booleans with the keys “horizontal”, “vertical”.
    • horizontal boolean
    • vertical boolean
forced_height
Force a widget height.

Type:

  • height number or nil The height (nil for automatic)
forced_width
Force a widget width.

Type:

  • width number or nil The width (nil for automatic)
opacity
The widget opacity (transparency).

Type:

  • opacity number The opacity (between 0 and 1) (default 1)
visible
The widget visibility.

Type:

  • boolean

Signals

widget::layout_changed
When the layout (size) change. This signal is emitted when the previous results of :layout() and :fit() are no longer valid. Unless this signal is emitted, :layout() and :fit() must return the same result when called with the same arguments.

See also:

widget::redraw_needed
When the widget content changed. This signal is emitted when the content of the widget changes. The widget will be redrawn, it is not re-layouted. Put differently, it is assumed that :layout() and :fit() would still return the same results as before.

See also:

button::press
When a mouse button is pressed over the widget.

Arguments:

  • lx number The horizontal position relative to the (0,0) position in the widget.

  • find_widgets_result The entry from the result of wibox.drawable:find_widgets for the position that the mouse hit.
    • drawable wibox.drawable The drawable containing the widget.
    • widget widget The widget being displayed.
    • hierarchy wibox.hierarchy The hierarchy managing the widget’s geometry.
    • x number An approximation of the X position that the widget is visible at on the surface.
    • y number An approximation of the Y position that the widget is visible at on the surface.
    • width number An approximation of the width that the widget is visible at on the surface.

Methods

wibox.container.mirror:get_children ()
Get the number of children element

Returns:

    table The children
wibox.container.mirror:set_children (children)
Replace the layout children This layout only accept one children, all others will be ignored
  • children table A table composed of valid widgets
wibox.container.mirror:reset ()
Reset this layout. The widget will be removed and the axes reset.
wibox.container.mirror:get_all_children ()
Get all direct and indirect children widgets. This will scan all containers recursively to find widgets Warning: This method it prone to stack overflow id the widget, or any of its children, contain (directly or indirectly) itself.

Returns:

    table The children
wibox.container.mirror:setup (args)
Set a declarative widget hierarchy description. See The declarative layout system
  • args An array containing the widgets disposition
wibox.container.mirror:buttons (_buttons)
Set/get a widget’s buttons.
  • _buttons The table of buttons that should bind to the widget.
wibox.container.mirror:emit_signal_recursive (signal_name, ...)
Emit a signal and ensure all parent widgets in the hierarchies also forward the signal. This is useful to track signals when there is a dynamic set of containers and layouts wrapping the widget.
  • signal_name string
  • ... Other arguments
wibox.container.mirror:emit_signal (name, ...)
Emit a signal.
  • name string The name of the signal.
  • ... Extra arguments for the callback functions. Each connected function receives the object as first argument and then any extra arguments that are given to emit_signal().
wibox.container.mirror:connect_signal (name, func)
Connect to a signal.
  • name string The name of the signal.
  • func function The callback to call when the signal is emitted.
wibox.container.mirror:weak_connect_signal (name, func)
Connect to a signal weakly.

This allows the callback function to be garbage collected and automatically disconnects the signal when that happens.

Warning: Only use this function if you really, really, really know what you are doing.

  • name string The name of the signal.
  • func function The callback to call when the signal is emitted.
