gtkWidgetPath {RGtk2} | R Documentation

## gtkWidgetPath

### Description

Obtains the full path to `widget`. The path is simply the name of a widget and all its parents in the container hierarchy, separated by periods. The name of a widget comes from `gtkWidgetGetName`. Paths are used to apply styles to a widget in gtkrc configuration files. Widget names are the type of the widget by default (e.g. "GtkButton") or can be set to an application-specific value with `gtkWidgetSetName`. By setting the name of a widget, you allow users or theme authors to apply styles to that specific widget in their gtkrc file. `path.reversed.p` fills in the path in reverse order, i.e. starting with `widget`'s name instead of starting with the name of `widget`'s outermost ancestor.

### Usage

    gtkWidgetPath(object)

### Arguments

``object`` | a `GtkWidget`

A list containing the following elements:

``path.length`` | location to store length of the path, or `NULL`. [ out ][ allow-none ]
