PannableArea

PannableArea
	Chapter 4. Widgets

Hildon::PannableArea is a container widget than can be panned around using fingers. The widget has no scrollbars, but does have small "indicators" that appear when a dragging motion has started. The motion is "kinetic", meaning that the area can be flicked to a position, with the movement continuing for a short time after the finger has been raised. The scrolling can also be stopped by tapping on the pannable area.

Hildon::PannableArea can be used in the same way as Gtk::ScrolledWindow, except that it has extra features specific to the Hildon platform. It is derived from Gtk::Bin, so it only accepts a single widget.

	Note
	Set the "`mov-mode`" property to the correct orientation, horizontal, vertical or both, in order for panning to work as expected.

Example

This example shows a simple window with ten Hildon::Button widgets inside a Hildon::PannableArea.
