## Description

The GtkLevelBar is a bar widget that can be used as a level indicator. Typical use cases are displaying the strength of a password, or showing the charge level of a battery.

Use `gtk_level_bar_set_value()` to set the current value, and `gtk_level_bar_add_offset_value()` to set the value offsets at which the bar will be considered in a different state. GTK will add two offsets by default on the level bar: GTK_LEVEL_BAR_OFFSET_LOW and GTK_LEVEL_BAR_OFFSET_HIGH, with values 0.25 and 0.75 respectively.

      return level_bar;
    }

The default interval of values is between zero and one, but it's possible to modify the interval using `gtk_level_bar_set_min_value()` and `gtk_level_bar_set_max_value()`. The value will be always drawn in proportion to the admissible interval, i.e. a value of 15 with a specified interval between 10 and 20 is equivalent to a value of 0.5 with an interval between 0 and 1. When GTK_LEVEL_BAR_MODE_DISCRETE is used, the bar level is rendered as a finite and number of separated blocks instead of a single one. The number of blocks that will be rendered is equal to the number of units specified by the admissible interval. For instance, to build a bar rendered with five blocks, it's sufficient to set the minimum value to 0 and the maximum value to 5 after changing the indicator mode to discrete.

## Property Details

### The `"max-value"` property

      "max-value"                gdouble               : Read / Write

The "max-value" property determaxes the maximum value of the interval that can be displayed by the bar.

Allowed values: >= 0

Default value: 1

Since 3.6

### The `"min-value"` property

      "min-value"                gdouble               : Read / Write

The "min-value" property determines the minimum value of the interval that can be displayed by the bar.

Allowed values: >= 0

Default value: 0

Since 3.6

### The `"mode"` property

      "mode"                     GtkLevelBarMode       : Read / Write

The "bar-mode" property determines the way GtkLevelBar interprets the value properties to draw the level fill area. Specifically, when the value is GTK_LEVEL_BAR_MODE_CONTINUOUS, GtkLevelBar will draw a single block representing the current value in that area; when the value is GTK_LEVEL_BAR_MODE_DISCRETE, the widget will draw a succession of separate blocks filling the draw area, with the number of blocks being equal to the units separating the integral roundings of "min-value" and "max-value".

Default value: GTK_LEVEL_BAR_MODE_CONTINUOUS

Since 3.6

### The `"value"` property

      "value"                    gdouble               : Read / Write

The "value" property determines the currently filled value of the level bar.

The min-block-height style property determines the minimum height for blocks filling the GtkLevelBar widget.

Allowed values: >= 1

Default value: 3

Since 3.6

### The `"min-block-width"` style property

Allowed values: >= 1

Default value: 3

Since 3.6

## Signal Details

### The `"offset-changed"` signal

    void                user_function                      (GtkLevelBar *self,
                                                            gchar       *name,

Emitted when an offset specified on the bar changes value as an effect to `gtk_level_bar_add_offset_value()` being called.

The signal supports detailed connections; you can connect to the detailed signal "changed::x" in order to only receive callbacks when the value of offset "x" changes.

`self` : | a GtkLevelBar
`name` : | the name of the offset that changed value
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.
