Tile

Constructors

Cannot be constructed. Can be created with split().

Properties

relativeGeometry

Geometry relative to the rootTile (ie. will always be >=1 in all fields). Not readonly unlike absoluteGeometry

relativeGeometry: QRect

absoluteGeometry

Geometry in pixels relative to the workspace

absoluteGeometry: QRect

absoluteGeometryInScreen

Geometry in pixels relative to the screen

absoluteGeometryInScreen

padding

The amount of padding the tile has for clients

padding: number

positionInLayout

Where the tile is in the horizontal/vertical layout of its parent

positionInLayout: number

parent

The parent of the tile, or null for root tiles

parent: Tile?

tiles

Child tiles in the layout

tiles: Tile[]

windows

Windows assigned to the tile

windows: Window[]

isLayout

Whether the tile is a layout. What this means, I know not

isLayout: boolean

canBeRemoved

Whether the tile can be removed. Almost always true if you try hard enough

canBeRemoved: boolean

layoutDirection

The direction that the tile lays out its children in. 0 for floating, 1 for horizontal, and 2 for vertical

layoutDirection: number

Methods

resizeByPixels

Resize by a certain amount of pixels in a direction. Negative delta moves edge outwards, positive inwards? Edge enum

resizeByPixels(delta: number, edge: Edge)

moveByPixels

No clue how this works, doesn't even take a direction. Only for floating windows

moveByPixels(delta: number)

remove

Removes the tile from the layout

remove()

split

Splits the tile in a given direction. Tiles can only be split if they have no children. To have more than two tiles in a direction, call split on a child using the layoutDirection of the parent. Uses the same layoutDirection enum as layoutDirection itself

split(direction: number)

Signals

relativeGeometryChanged

Emitted when relative geometry is changed

relativeGeometryChanged()

absoluteGeometryChanged

Emitted when absolute geometry is changed

absoluteGeometryChanged()

windowGeometryChanged

Emitted when the geometry of the child windows is changed

windowGeometryChanged()

paddingChanged

Emitted when the padding is changed

paddingChanged(padding: number)

rowChanged

No clue when this is emitted. What's a row?

rowChanged()

isLayoutChanged

Emitted when isLayout is changed

isLayoutChanged(isLayout: boolean)

childTilesChanged

Emitted when child tiles are changed

childTilesChanged()

windowAdded

Emitted when a window client is added

windowAdded(window: Window)

windowRemoved

Emitted when a window is removed

windowRemoved(window: Window)

windowsChanged

Emitted when windows change. Probably use the above functions instead

windowsChanged()

layoutDirectionChanged

Emitted when layout direction is changed

layoutDirectionChanged()

layoutModified

Emitted when the layout is modified. This includes child tiles being resized

layoutModified()

Remarks

Massive improvements over 5.27 in my opinion. The addition of resizeByPixels() alone is worth the upgrade.
