Description

The GtkNotebook widget is a GtkContainer whose children are pages that can be switched between using tab labels along one edge.

There are many configuration options for GtkNotebook. Among other things, you can choose on which edge the tabs appear (see set_tab_pos() ), whether, if there are too many tabs to fit the noteobook should be made bigger or scrolling arrows added (see set_scrollable() ), and whether there will be a popup menu allowing the users to switch pages. (see popup_enable() , popup_disable() )
