## Detailed Description

This widget, as the name indicates, is a pre-made image slideshow panel, with API functions acting on (child) image items presentation. Between those actions, are:

- advance to next/previous image
- select the style of image transition animation
- set the exhibition time for each image
- start/stop the slideshow

The transition animations are defined in the widget's theme, consequently new animations can be added without having to update the widget's code.

# Slideshow items

For slideshow items, just like for genlist ones, the user defines a classes, specifying functions that will be called on the item's creation and deletion times.

The Elm_Slideshow_Item_Class structure contains the following members:

- `func.get` - When an item is displayed, this function is called, and it's where one should create the item object, de facto. For example, the object can be a pure Evas image object or an Elementary photocam widget. See SlideshowItemGetFunc.
- `func.del` - When an item is no more displayed, this function is called, where the user must delete any data associated to the item. See SlideshowItemDelFunc.

# Slideshow caching

The slideshow provides facilities to have items adjacent to the one being displayed already "realized" (i.e. loaded) for you, so that the system does not have to decode image data anymore at the time it has to actually switch images on its viewport. The user is able to set the numbers of items to be cached before and after the current item, in the widget's item list.

This widget inherits from the Layout one, so that all the functions acting on it also work for slideshow objects.

This widget emits the following signals, besides the ones sent from Layout :

- `"changed"` - when the slideshow switches its view to a new item. event_info parameter in callback contains the current visible item
- `"transition,end"` - when a slide transition ends. event_info parameter in callback contains the current visible item
- `"focused"` - When the slideshow has received focus. (since 1.8)
- `"unfocused"` - When the slideshow has lost focus. (since 1.8)
- `"language,changed"` - the program's language changed (since 1.9)

Supported `elm_object_item` common APIs.

- elm_object_item_del

EOAPI void elm_obj_slideshow_timeout_set | ( | Eo * | obj,
|  | double | timeout
| ) |  |

Set the interval between each image transition on a given slideshow widget and start the slideshow itself.

After this call, the slideshow widget will start cycling its view, sequentially and automatically, with the images of the items it has. The time between each new image displayed is going to be `timeout`, in seconds. If a different timeout was set previously and an slideshow was in progress, it will continue with the new time between transitions, after this call.

Note
  A value less than or equal to 0 on `timeout` will disable the widget's internal timer, thus halting any slideshow which could be happening on `obj`.

Parameters

  [in] | obj | The object.
  [in] | timeout | The new displaying timeout for images.

## ◆ elm_obj_slideshow_timeout_get()

EOAPI double elm_obj_slideshow_timeout_get | ( | const Eo * | obj | ) |

Get the interval set for image transitions on a given slideshow widget.

## ◆ elm_obj_slideshow_items_get()

EOAPI const Eina_List * elm_obj_slideshow_items_get | ( | const Eo * | obj | ) |

Get the internal list of items in a given slideshow widget.

This list is not to be modified in any way and must not be freed.

Warning
  This list is only valid until `obj` object's internal items list is changed. It should be fetched again with another call to this function when changes happen.

Parameters

  [in] | obj | The object.

Returns
  The list of items (Elm_Widget_Item as data) or `null` on errors.

## ◆ elm_obj_slideshow_transitions_get()

EOAPI const Eina_List * elm_obj_slideshow_transitions_get | ( | const Eo * | obj | ) |

Returns the list of sliding transition/effect names available, for a given slideshow widget.

The transitions, which come from `obj's` theme, must be an EDC data item named $"transitions" on the theme file, with (prefix) names of EDC programs actually implementing them.

The available transitions for slideshows on the default theme are "fade" (the current item fades out, while the new one fades in to the slideshow's viewport), "black_fade" (the current item fades to black, and just then, the new item will fade in), "horizontal" (the current item slides horizontally, until it gets out of the slideshow's viewport, while the new item comes from the left to take its place), "vertical" (the current item slides vertically, until it gets out of the slideshow's viewport, while the new item comes from the bottom to take its place), "square" (the new item starts to appear from the middle of the current one, but with a tiny size, growing until its target (full) size and covering the old one.

Warning
  The stringshared strings get no new references exclusive to the user grabbing the list, here, so if you'd like to use them out of this call's context, you'd better eina_stringshare_ref them. Also the list is an internal list and so is only valid for as long as the slideshow object is valid and has not internally changed its list for some reason, so make a copy if you need it around.

Parameters

  [in] | obj | The object.

Returns
  The list of transitions (list of stringshared strings as data).

## ◆ elm_obj_slideshow_count_get()

EOAPI unsigned int elm_obj_slideshow_count_get | ( | const Eo * | obj | ) |

Get the number of items stored in a given slideshow widget.

Parameters

  [in] | obj | The object.

Returns
  The number of items on `obj`, at the moment of this call.

## ◆ elm_obj_slideshow_item_current_get()

EOAPI Elm_Widget_Item * elm_obj_slideshow_item_current_get | ( | const Eo * | obj | ) |

Returns the currently displayed item, in a given slideshow widget.

Parameters

  [in] | obj | The object.

Returns
  A handle to the item being displayed in `obj` or `null`, if none is (and on errors)

## ◆ elm_obj_slideshow_layouts_get()

EOAPI const Eina_List * elm_obj_slideshow_layouts_get | ( | const Eo * | obj | ) |

Returns the list of layout names available, for a given slideshow widget.

Slideshow layouts will change how the widget is to dispose each image item in its viewport, with regard to cropping, scaling, etc.

The layouts, which come from `obj's` theme, must be an EDC data item name $"layouts" on the theme file, with (prefix) names of EDC programs actually implementing them.

The available layouts for slideshows on the default theme are "fullscreen" (item images with original aspect, scaled to touch top and down slideshow borders or, if the image's height is not enough, left and right slideshow borders) and "not_fullscreen" (the same behavior as the "fullscreen" one, but always leaving 10% of the slideshow's dimensions of distance between the item image's borders and the slideshow borders, for each axis)-

Warning
  The stringshared strings get no new references exclusive to the user grabbing the list, here, so if you'd like to use them out of this call's context, you'd better eina_stringshare_ref them.

Parameters

  [in] | obj | The object.

Returns
  The list of layouts (list of stringshared strings as data)

## ◆ elm_obj_slideshow_previous()

EOAPI void elm_obj_slideshow_previous | ( | Eo * | obj | ) |
