``GtkCenterLayout`` is a layout manager that manages up to three children.

The start widget is allocated at the start of the layout (left in
left-to-right locales and right in right-to-left ones), and the end
widget at the end.

The center widget is centered regarding the full width of the layout's.



Constructors

.. rst-class:: interim-class

.. class:: CenterLayout
   :no-index:


   .. classmethod:: new() -> ~gi.repository.Gtk.LayoutManager

      Creates a new ``GtkCenterLayout``.














Methods
-------

.. rst-class:: interim-class

.. class:: CenterLayout
   :no-index:


   .. method:: get_baseline_position() -> ~gi.repository.Gtk.BaselinePosition

      Returns the baseline position of the layout.










   .. method:: get_center_widget() -> ~gi.repository.Gtk.Widget | None

      Returns the center widget of the layout.










   .. method:: get_end_widget() -> ~gi.repository.Gtk.Widget | None

      Returns the end widget of the layout.










   .. method:: get_orientation() -> ~gi.repository.Gtk.Orientation

      Gets the current orienration of the layout manager.










   .. method:: get_shrink_center_last() -> bool

      Gets whether ``self`` shrinks the center widget after other children.



      .. versionadded:: 4.12








   .. method:: get_start_widget() -> ~gi.repository.Gtk.Widget | None

      Returns the start widget of the layout.










   .. method:: set_baseline_position(baseline_position: ~gi.repository.Gtk.BaselinePosition) -> None

      Sets the new baseline position of ``self``







      :param baseline_position: the new baseline position





   .. method:: set_center_widget(widget: ~gi.repository.Gtk.Widget | None = None) -> None

      Sets the new center widget of ``self``.

      To remove the existing center widget, pass :const:`None`.







      :param widget: the new center widget





   .. method:: set_end_widget(widget: ~gi.repository.Gtk.Widget | None = None) -> None

      Sets the new end widget of ``self``.

      To remove the existing center widget, pass :const:`None`.







      :param widget: the new end widget





   .. method:: set_orientation(orientation: ~gi.repository.Gtk.Orientation) -> None

      Sets the orientation of ``self``.







      :param orientation: the new orientation





   .. method:: set_shrink_center_last(shrink_center_last: bool) -> None

      Sets whether to shrink the center widget after other children.

      By default, when there's no space to give all three children their
      natural widths, the start and end widgets start shrinking and the
      center child keeps natural width until they reach minimum width.

      If set to ``FALSE``, start and end widgets keep natural width and the
      center widget starts shrinking instead.



      .. versionadded:: 4.12





      :param shrink_center_last: whether to shrink the center widget after others





   .. method:: set_start_widget(widget: ~gi.repository.Gtk.Widget | None = None) -> None

      Sets the new start widget of ``self``.

      To remove the existing start widget, pass :const:`None`.







      :param widget: the new start widget
