Properties

autosize : StackAutoSize

When set to true, the width and height of the stack will be automatically calculated and updated from the stack's child views, to ensure all views fit into the stack. When disabled, the width and height must be set manually.

• Default: true

background : ViewBackgroundStyle

Setup a background style for the view.

visible : ViewVisibility

Set visible to false to hide a view (make it invisible without removing it). Please note that view.visible will also return false when any of its parents are invisible (when its implicitly invisible).

• Default: true

origin : ViewOrigin

The position of a view within its parent view. Only the stack layouts allows to freely position child views. Other layout views will automatically set the origin, but the origin then still can be read in for example mouse handlers.

width : ViewDimension

Deprecated. Use property size instead.

height : ViewDimension

Deprecated. Use property size instead.

size : ViewSize

The dimensions of a view has to be larger than 0. For nested views you can also specify relative size, for example vb:text { size = { width = "80%", height = 20}}. The percentage values are relative to the view's parent size and will automatically update when the parent view's size changes.

tooltip : ViewTooltip

A ViewTooltip text that should be shown for this view on mouse hover.

• Default: "" (no tip will be shown)

cursor : ViewCursorShape

The cursor cursor for this view which apears on mouse hover. Using a "none" shape will use use underlying view's cursor or the default cursor.

views : renoise.Views.View[]

READ-ONLY Empty for all controls, for layout views this contains the layout child views in the order they got added

Functions

add_view(self, child : renoise.Views.View)

Add a new child view to this view.

remove_view(self, child : renoise.Views.View)

Remove a child view from this view.

swap_views(self, child1 : renoise.Views.View, child2 : renoise.Views.View)

Swap position of two child views in this view. With a series of swaps views can be moved to any position in the parent.

add_child(self, child : renoise.Views.View)

Deprecated. Use add_view instead

remove_child(self, child : renoise.Views.View)

Deprecated. Use remove_view instead

swap_childs(self, child1 : renoise.Views.View, child2 : renoise.Views.View)

Deprecated. Use swap_views instead

ViewDimension

string | integer

The dimensions of a view has to be larger than 0. For nested views you can also specify relative size for example vb:text { width = "80%"}. The percentage values are relative to the view's parent size and will automatically update on size changes.

ViewOrigin

{ 1 : ViewPosition, 2 : ViewPosition } | { x : ViewPosition, y : ViewPosition }

The position of a view within its parent view. Only the stack layouts allows to freely position child views. Other layout views will automatically set the origin, but the origin then still can be read in for example mouse handlers.

ViewPosition

integer

Horizontal (x) or Vertical (y) position of a view within its parent view.

ViewSize

{ 1 : ViewDimension, 2 : ViewDimension } | { height : ViewDimension, width : ViewDimension }

The dimensions of a view has to be larger than 0. For nested views you can also specify relative size, for example vb:text { size = { width = "80%", height = 20}}. The percentage values are relative to the view's parent size and will automatically update when the parent view's size changes.
