Method GTK2.Widget()->set_direction()

Method set_direction

GTK2.Widget set_direction(int dir)

Description

Sets the reading direction. This direction controls the primary direction for widgets containing text, and also the direction in which the children of the container are packed. The ability to set the direction is present in order so that correct localization into languages with right-to-left reading directions can be done. Generally, applications will let the default reading direction present, except for containers where the containers are arranged in an order that is explicitly visual rather than logical (such as buttons for text justification).
