Ichthyostega 453ee08803 Clip: investigate how to enforce a fixed horizontal extension GTK doesn't expose a first-class API for this, since -- by design -- the extension of a widget is negotiated. Thus I'm looking for some kind of workaround for our specific use-case, where a clip widget must be rendered with a well defined horizontal size, corresponding to its length. Thus far, we're only able to increase the size of the Button widget used as placeholder, but we can not forcibly shrink that button, probably because the embedded Gtk::Lable requires additional extension.		2021-02-05 00:21:08 +01:00

GUI backbone tests

The tests in this subtree are a bit special: they cover the generic and
backbone internals of the Lumiera GTK GUI. They are linked against the
complete GUI-module (gui plugin), and thus may use all related ABIs.

Yet these tests are *deliberately* compiled without any GTK, GTKmm or SigC
includes. This effectively rules out the use, even indirectly, of any GTK
widgets and APIs -- forcing the covered GUI backbone entities to stay
clean and generic at API level.

This is a decision done on purpose. The concrete GUI framework technology
shall be treated as an implementation detail. There is no point in writing
tests which click buttons in the GUI -- better delegate any significant
logic or functionality to GUI agnostic components. GUI is meant to be
a presentation layer and must not develop intelligence on its own.
