## Object Hierarchy

      GInterface
       +----BrowserPerspective

## Prerequisites

BrowserPerspective requires GtkWidget.

## Known Implementations

BrowserPerspective is implemented by DataManagerPerspective, QueryExecPerspective and SchemaBrowserPerspective.

## Description

BrowserPerspective is an interface used by the BrowserWindow object to switch between the activities ("perspectives"); it requires the GtkWidget.

## Details

### BROWSER_PERSPECTIVE_TYPE

    #define BROWSER_PERSPECTIVE_TYPE            (browser_perspective_get_type())

### BROWSER_PERSPECTIVE()

    #define BROWSER_PERSPECTIVE(obj)            (G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE_CAST (obj, BROWSER_PERSPECTIVE_TYPE, BrowserPerspective))

### IS_BROWSER_PERSPECTIVE()

    #define IS_BROWSER_PERSPECTIVE(obj)         (G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE_TYPE (obj, BROWSER_PERSPECTIVE_TYPE))

### BROWSER_PERSPECTIVE_GET_CLASS()

    #define BROWSER_PERSPECTIVE_GET_CLASS(obj)  (G_TYPE_INSTANCE_GET_INTERFACE ((obj), BROWSER_PERSPECTIVE_TYPE, BrowserPerspectiveIface))

### BrowserPerspective

    typedef struct _BrowserPerspective BrowserPerspective;

### browser_perspective_get_type ()

    GType               browser_perspective_get_type        (void);

### browser_perspective_get_window ()

    BrowserWindow *     browser_perspective_get_window      (BrowserPerspective *perspective);

Returns : | the BrowserWindow `perspective` is in. [transfer none]

### browser_perspective_get_actions_group ()

    GtkActionGroup *    browser_perspective_get_actions_group
                                                            (BrowserPerspective *perspective);

Get the GtkActionGroup from a `pers` to represent its specific actions.

Returns : | a new GtkActionGroup

### browser_perspective_get_actions_ui ()

    const gchar *       browser_perspective_get_actions_ui  (BrowserPerspective *perspective);

Get the UI definition from a perspective to represent how its specific actions (obtained using `browser_perspective_get_actions_group()`) are to be integrated in a BrowserWindow's menu and toolbar.

Returns : | a read-only string

### browser_perspective_get_current_customization ()

    void                browser_perspective_get_current_customization
                                                            (BrowserPerspective *perspective,
                                                             GtkActionGroup **out_agroup,
                                                             const gchar **out_ui);

Rem: *`out_agroup` is a new object and should be unref'ed when not needed anymore

`out_agroup` : | a place to store the returned GtkActionGroup, not `NULL`. [transfer full]
`out_ui` : | a place to store the returned UI string, not `NULL`. [transfer none]

### browser_perspective_page_tab_label_change ()

    void                browser_perspective_page_tab_label_change
                                                            (BrowserPerspective *perspective,
                                                             BrowserPage *page);

When `pers` organizes its contents as pages in a notebook, each page may request that the tab's label may be changed, and the purpose of this method is to request that `pers` update the tab's label associated to `page`.

`page` : | an object implementing the BrowserPage interface

### browser_perspective_declare_notebook ()

    void                browser_perspective_declare_notebook
                                                            (BrowserPerspective *perspective,
                                                             GtkNotebook *nb);

Internally used by browser's perspectives to declare they internally use a notebook which state is modified when switching to and from fullscreen

`nb` : | a GtkNotebook
