## Implemented Interfaces

GimpUnitMenu implements AtkImplementorIface, GtkBuildable and GtkActivatable.

## Signals

      "unit-changed"                                   : Run First

## Description

This widget provides a GtkOptionMenu which contains a list of GimpUnit's.

You can specify the string that will be displayed for each unit by passing a printf-like `format` string to `gimp_unit_menu_new()`.

The constructor also lets you choose if the menu should contain items for GIMP_UNIT_PIXEL, GIMP_UNIT_PERCENT and a "More..." item which will pop up a dialog for selecting user-defined units.

Whenever the user selects a unit from the menu or the dialog, the "unit_changed" signal will be emitted.

## Details

### GimpUnitMenu

    typedef struct _GimpUnitMenu GimpUnitMenu;

### gimp_unit_menu_new ()

    GtkWidget *         gimp_unit_menu_new                  (const gchar *format,
                                                             GimpUnit unit,
                                                             gboolean show_pixels,
                                                             gboolean show_percent,
                                                             gboolean show_custom);

Creates a new GimpUnitMenu widget.

The `format` string supports the following percent expansions:

% f | Factor (how many units make up an inch)
% y | Symbol (e.g. "''" for GIMP_UNIT_INCH)
% a | Abbreviation
% s | Singular
% p | Plural
%% | Literal percent

`format` : | A printf-like format string which is used to create the unit strings.
`unit` : | The initially selected unit.
`show_pixels` : | `TRUE` if the unit menu should contain an item for GIMP_UNIT_PIXEL.
`show_percent` : | `TRUE` in the unit menu should contain an item for GIMP_UNIT_PERCENT.
`show_custom` : | `TRUE` if the unit menu should contain a "More..." item for opening the user-defined-unit selection dialog.
Returns : | A pointer to the new GimpUnitMenu widget.

### gimp_unit_menu_set_unit ()

    void                gimp_unit_menu_set_unit             (GimpUnitMenu *menu,
                                                             GimpUnit unit);

Sets a new GimpUnit for the specified GimpUnitMenu.

`menu` : | The unit menu you want to set the unit for.
`unit` : | The new unit.

### gimp_unit_menu_get_unit ()

    GimpUnit            gimp_unit_menu_get_unit             (GimpUnitMenu *menu);

Returns the GimpUnit the user has selected from the GimpUnitMenu.

`menu` : | The unit menu you want to know the unit of.
Returns : | The unit the user has selected.

### gimp_unit_menu_get_pixel_digits ()

    gint                gimp_unit_menu_get_pixel_digits     (GimpUnitMenu *menu);

Retrieve the number of digits for a pixel size as set by `gimp_unit_set_pixel_digits()`.

`menu` : | a GimpUnitMenu
Returns : | the configured number of digits for a pixel size

### gimp_unit_menu_set_pixel_digits ()

    void                gimp_unit_menu_set_pixel_digits     (GimpUnitMenu *menu,
                                                             gint digits);

A GimpUnitMenu can be setup to control the number of digits shown by attached spinbuttons. Please refer to the documentation of `gimp_unit_menu_update()` to see how this is done.

This function allows to specify the number of digits shown for a size in pixels. Usually this is 0 (only full pixels). If you want to allow the user to specify sub-pixel sizes using the attached spinbuttons, specify the number of digits after the decimal point here. You should do this after attaching your spinbuttons.

`menu` : | a GimpUnitMenu
`digits` : | the number of digits to display for a pixel size

## Signal Details

### The `"unit-changed"` signal

    void                user_function                      (GimpUnitMenu *arg0,
                                                            gpointer      user_data)      : Run First

This signal is emitted whenever the user selects a GimpUnit from the GimpUnitMenu.

`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.
