Description

An abstract class to be extended by widget that hole one or more other widgets.

Containers (widgets that extend from GtkContainer) provide a context for the widgets they contain. Containers manage the location, re-sizing and order of their children.

Containers can be broken down into two groups: bins (containers that extend from GtkBin) and multi-child containers. Bins may only have one child and in general provide some additional set of functionality or display enhancement for their child widget. Multi-child containers, on the other hand, normally do not provide any additional functionality and instead focus on organizing a set of widgets.
