tutorial_table_01

In this example we add four labels to a homogeneous table that has a padding of 5px between cells.

The interesting bits from this example are:

- Where we set the table as homogeneous and the padding:
  elm_table_padding_set(table, 5, 5);
  elm_table_homogeneous_set(table, EINA_TRUE);
  EINA_TRUE
  #define EINA_TRUE
  boolean value TRUE (numerical value 1)
  Definition eina_types.h:539
  elm_table_homogeneous_set
  void elm_table_homogeneous_set(Elm_Table *obj, Eina_Bool homogeneous)
  Control the homogeneous state in a table.
  Definition elm_table_eo.legacy.c:3
  elm_table_padding_set
  void elm_table_padding_set(Elm_Table *obj, int horizontal, int vertical)
  Set padding between cells.
  Definition elm_table_eo.legacy.c:15
- Where we add each label to the table:
  elm_table_pack(table, label, 0, 0, 1, 1);
  elm_table_pack
  void elm_table_pack(Elm_Table *obj, Efl_Canvas_Object *subobj, int column, int row, int colspan, int rowspan)
  Add a subobject on the table with the coordinates passed.
  Definition elm_table_eo.legacy.c:57
  elm_table_pack(table, label, 1, 0, 1, 1);
  elm_table_pack(table, label, 0, 1, 1, 1);
  elm_table_pack(table, label, 1, 1, 1, 1);
