Table Smart Object example

This example will arrange rectangles of different sizes(and colors) in a table.

While it's possible to create the same layout we are doing here by positioning each rectangle independently, using a table makes it a lot easier, since the table will control layout of all the objects, allowing you to move, resize or hide the entire table.

We'll start with creating the table, setting it to EVAS_OBJECT_TABLE_HOMOGENEOUS_NONE to have maximum flexibility and setting its padding to 0:

table = evas_object_table_add(d.evas);
evas_object_table_homogeneous_set(table, EVAS_OBJECT_TABLE_HOMOGENEOUS_NONE);
evas_object_table_padding_set(table, 0, 0);
evas_object_resize(table, WIDTH, HEIGHT);
evas_object_show(table);
evas_object_show
EVAS_API void evas_object_show(Evas_Object *eo_obj)
Makes the given Evas object visible.
Definition: evas_object_main.c:1814
evas_object_resize
EVAS_API void evas_object_resize(Evas_Object *obj, Evas_Coord w, Evas_Coord h)
Changes the size of the given Evas object.
Definition: evas_object_main.c:1236
evas_object_table_homogeneous_set
EVAS_API void evas_object_table_homogeneous_set(Evas_Table *obj, Evas_Object_Table_Homogeneous_Mode homogeneous)
Set how this table should layout children.
Definition: evas_table_eo.legacy.c:3
evas_object_table_add
EVAS_API Evas_Object * evas_object_table_add(Evas *evas)
Create a new table.
Definition: evas_object_table.c:969
evas_object_table_padding_set
EVAS_API void evas_object_table_padding_set(Evas_Table *obj, int horizontal, int vertical)
Control the padding between cells.
Definition: evas_table_eo.legacy.c:27
EVAS_OBJECT_TABLE_HOMOGENEOUS_NONE
@ EVAS_OBJECT_TABLE_HOMOGENEOUS_NONE
No mode specified.
Definition: evas_table_eo.h:24

We then create each rectangle and add it to the table:

rect = evas_object_rectangle_add(d.evas);
evas_object_color_set(rect, 255, 0, 0, 255);
evas_object_size_hint_min_set(rect, 100, 50);
evas_object_show(rect);
evas_object_table_pack(table, rect, 1, 1, 2, 1);
evas_object_color_set
EVAS_API void evas_object_color_set(Evas_Object *obj, int r, int g, int b, int a)
Sets the general/main color of the given Evas object to the given one.
Definition: evas_object_main.c:2024
evas_object_size_hint_min_set
EVAS_API void evas_object_size_hint_min_set(Evas_Object *obj, Evas_Coord w, Evas_Coord h)
Sets the hints for an object's minimum size.
Definition: evas_object_main.c:2611
evas_object_rectangle_add
EVAS_API Evas_Object * evas_object_rectangle_add(Evas *e)
Adds a rectangle to the given evas.
Definition: evas_object_rectangle.c:78
evas_object_table_pack
EVAS_API Eina_Bool evas_object_table_pack(Evas_Table *obj, Efl_Canvas_Object *child, unsigned short col, unsigned short row, unsigned short colspan, unsigned short rowspan)
Add a new child to a table object or set its current packing.
Definition: evas_table_eo.legacy.c:87
rect = evas_object_rectangle_add(d.evas);
evas_object_color_set(rect, 0, 255, 0, 255);
evas_object_size_hint_min_set(rect, 50, 100);
evas_object_show(rect);
evas_object_table_pack(table, rect, 1, 2, 1, 2);
rect = evas_object_rectangle_add(d.evas);
evas_object_color_set(rect, 0, 0, 255, 255);
evas_object_size_hint_min_set(rect, 50, 50);
evas_object_show(rect);
evas_object_table_pack(table, rect, 2, 2, 1, 1);
rect = evas_object_rectangle_add(d.evas);
evas_object_color_set(rect, 255, 255, 0, 255);
evas_object_size_hint_min_set(rect, 50, 50);
evas_object_show(rect);
evas_object_table_pack(table, rect, 2, 3, 1, 1);

Note
  Each rectangle has a different minimum size based on how many rows and columns it will occupy.
