## Description

GwyShrinkWrap is a simple wrapper container widget which requests its child's minimum size as the natural size, essentially making it never request more than the minimum size. It is mainly useful for corner cases such as ellipsised labels, which have small minimum size but the natural size corresponds to the full text. This causes containers to give them a lot of space they do not need and can also make default window sizes unnecessarily large.

Child widgets that trade width for height may not behave reasonably inside because the shrinking breaks the trading.

## Functions

### gwy_shrink_wrap_new()

    GtkWidget *
    gwy_shrink_wrap_new (GtkSizeGroupMode mode);

Creates a new shrink-wrap container.

The mode is given as GtkSizeGroupMode because it has the same logic.

#### Parameters

mode | In which directions the shrinking should occur. |

#### Returns

The new shrink-wrap widget.

### gwy_shrink_wrap_set_mode()

    void
    gwy_shrink_wrap_set_mode (GwyShrinkWrap *shrinkwrap,
                              GtkSizeGroupMode mode);

Sets the direction in which a shrink-wrap container shrinks its child.

#### Parameters

shrinkwrap | A shrink-wrap container. |
mode | In which directions the shrinking should occur. |

### gwy_shrink_wrap_get_mode()

    GtkSizeGroupMode
    gwy_shrink_wrap_get_mode (GwyShrinkWrap *shrinkwrap);

Reports the direction in which a shrink-wrap container shrinks its child.

#### Parameters

shrinkwrap | A shrink-wrap container. |

#### Returns

The shrinking mode.

## Types and Values

### struct GwyShrinkWrap

    struct GwyShrinkWrap;

### struct GwyShrinkWrapClass

    struct GwyShrinkWrapClass {
        GtkBinClass parent_class;
    };
