Swallow example

This is a simple example in which we create a rect and swallow it.

Focusing on the relevant parts of the code we go right to the creation of our rectangle. It should be noted that we don't resize or show our rect, that is because when an object is swallowed it's geometry and visibility is controlled by the theme:

rect = evas_object_rectangle_add(evas);
evas_object_rectangle_add
EVAS_API Evas_Object * evas_object_rectangle_add(Evas *e)
Adds a rectangle to the given evas.
Definition: evas_object_rectangle.c:78
evas_object_color_set(rect, 255, 0, 0, 255);
edje_object_part_swallow(edje_obj, "part_one", rect);
edje_object_part_swallow
Eina_Bool edje_object_part_swallow(Evas_Object *obj, const char *part, Evas_Object *obj_swallow)
"Swallows" an object into one of the Edje object SWALLOW parts.
Definition: edje_util.c:6676
evas_object_color_set
EVAS_API void evas_object_color_set(Evas_Object *obj, int r, int g, int b, int a)
Sets the general/main color of the given Evas object to the given one.
Definition: evas_object_main.c:2024

The other bit of code that is relevant to us now is our check that the swallow worked:

obj = edje_object_part_swallow_get(edje_obj, "part_one");
if(obj == rect)
printf("Swallowing worked!\n");
edje_object_part_swallow_get
Evas_Object * edje_object_part_swallow_get(const Evas_Object *obj, const char *part)
Gets the object currently swallowed by a part.
