CssSection
===================================================================

.. currentmodule:: gi.repository.Gtk





.. class:: CssSection(**kwargs)
   :no-contents-entry:






Defines a part of a CSS document.

Because sections are nested into one another, you can use
:obj:`~gi.repository.CssSection.get_parent` to get the containing region.

   :no-index:


   .. method:: get_bytes() -> ~gi.repository.GLib.Bytes | None

      Gets the bytes that ``section`` was parsed from.


      .. versionadded:: 4.16








   .. method:: get_end_location() -> ~gi.repository.Gtk.CssLocation

      Returns the location in the CSS document where this section ends.









   .. method:: get_file() -> ~gi.repository.Gio.File | None

      Gets the file that ``section`` was parsed from.

      If no such file exists, for example because the CSS was loaded via

      The parent section is the section that contains this ``section``\. A special
      case are sections of  type ``GTK_CSS_SECTION_DOCUMEN``\T. Their parent will
      either be ``NULL`` if they are the original CSS document that was loaded by
      :obj:`~gi.repository.Gtk.CssProvider.load_from_file` or a section of type
      ``GTK_CSS_SECTION_IMPORT`` if it was loaded with an ``@import`` rule from
      a different file.









   .. method:: get_start_location() -> ~gi.repository.Gtk.CssLocation

      Returns the location in the CSS document where this section starts.









   .. method:: print_(string: ~gi.repository.GLib.String) -> None
