<!-- ##### SECTION Title ##### -->
GtkScale

<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->
Base class for GtkHScale and GtkVScale

<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
A #GtkScale is a slider control used to select a numeric value.
To use it, you'll probably want to investigate the methods on 
its base class, #GtkRange, in addition to the methods for #GtkScale itself.
To set the value of a scale, you would normally use gtk_range_set_value(). 
To detect changes to the value, you would normally use the "value_changed" 
signal.
</para>
<para>
The #GtkScale widget is an abstract class, used only for deriving the
subclasses #GtkHScale and #GtkVScale. To create a scale widget, 
call gtk_hscale_new_with_range() or gtk_vscale_new_with_range().
</para>

<!-- ##### SECTION Stability_Level ##### -->


<!-- ##### STRUCT GtkScale ##### -->
<para>
The #GtkScale-struct struct contains the following fields.
(These fields should be considered read-only. They should never be set by
an application.)

<informaltable pgwide="1" frame="none" role="struct">
<tgroup cols="2"><colspec colwidth="2*"/><colspec colwidth="8*"/>
<tbody>

<row>
<entry>#guint <structfield>draw_value</structfield>;</entry>
<entry>non-zero if the scale's current value is displayed next to the
slider.</entry>
</row>

<row>
<entry>#guint <structfield>value_pos</structfield>;</entry>
<entry>the position in which the textual value is displayed, selected from
#GtkPositionType.</entry>
</row>

</tbody></tgroup></informaltable>
</para>


<!-- ##### SIGNAL GtkScale::format-value ##### -->
<para>
Signal which allows you to change how the scale value is displayed.  Connect a
signal handler which returns an allocated string representing @value.
That string will then be used to display the scale's value.
Here's an example signal handler which displays a value 1.0 as
with "--&gt;1.0&lt;--".
<informalexample><programlisting>
static gchar*
format_value_callback (GtkScale *scale,
                       gdouble   value)
{
  return g_strdup_printf ("--&gt;&percnt;0.*g&lt;--",
                          gtk_scale_get_digits (scale), value);
}
</programlisting></informalexample>
</para>

@scale: the object which received the signal.
@arg1: 
@Returns: allocated string representing @value
<!-- # Unused Parameters # -->
@value: value to format

<!-- ##### ARG GtkScale:slider-length ##### -->

<!-- ##### ARG GtkScale:value-spacing ##### -->
<para>

</para>

<!-- ##### FUNCTION gtk_scale_set_digits ##### -->
<para>
Sets the number of decimal places that are displayed in the value.  Also causes
the value of the adjustment to be rounded off to this number of digits, so the
retrieved value matches the value the user saw.
</para>

@scale: a #GtkScale.
@digits: the number of decimal places to display, e.g. use 1 to display 1.0,
2 to display 1.00 etc.


<!-- ##### FUNCTION gtk_scale_set_draw_value ##### -->
<para>
Specifies whether the current value is displayed as a string next to the
slider.
</para>

@scale: a #GtkScale.
@draw_value: a boolean.


<!-- ##### FUNCTION gtk_scale_set_value_pos ##### -->
<para>
Sets the position in which the current value is displayed.
</para>

@scale: a #GtkScale.
@pos: the position in which the current value is displayed.


<!-- ##### FUNCTION gtk_scale_get_digits ##### -->
<para>
Gets the number of decimal places that are displayed in the value.
</para>

@scale: a #GtkScale.
@Returns: the number of decimal places that are displayed.


<!-- ##### FUNCTION gtk_scale_get_draw_value ##### -->
<para>
Returns whether the current value is displayed as a string next to the
slider.
</para>

@scale: a #GtkScale.
@Returns: whether the current value is displayed as a string.


<!-- ##### FUNCTION gtk_scale_get_value_pos ##### -->
<para>
Gets the position in which the current value is displayed.
</para>

@scale: a #GtkScale.
@Returns: the position in which the current value is displayed.


<!-- ##### FUNCTION gtk_scale_get_layout ##### -->
<para>

</para>

@scale: 
@Returns:
