## Signal Prototypes

                void        user_function      (GtkLayout *layout,
                                                GtkAdjustment *arg1,
                                                GtkAdjustment *arg2,
                                                gpointer user_data);

## Description

GtkLayout is similar to GtkDrawingArea in that it's a "blank slate" and doesn't do anything but paint a blank background by default. It's different in that it supports scrolling natively (you can add it to a GtkScrolledWindow), and it can contain child widgets, since it's a GtkContainer. However if you're just going to draw, a GtkDrawingArea is a better choice since it has lower overhead.

When handling expose events on a GtkLayout, you must draw to GTK_LAYOUT (layout)->bin_window, rather than to GTK_WIDGET (layout)->window, as you would for a drawing area.

## Details

### struct GtkLayout

    struct GtkLayout {
      GdkWindow *bin_window;

    };

### gtk_layout_new ()

    GtkWidget*  gtk_layout_new                  (GtkAdjustment *hadjustment,
                                                 GtkAdjustment *vadjustment);

Creates a new GtkLayout. Unless you have a specific adjustment you'd like the layout to use for scrolling, pass `NULL` for `hadjustment` and `vadjustment`.

`hadjustment` : | horizontal scroll adjustment, or `NULL`
`vadjustment` : | vertical scroll adjustment, or `NULL`
Returns : | a new GtkLayout

### gtk_layout_put ()

    void        gtk_layout_put                  (GtkLayout *layout,
                                                 GtkWidget *child_widget,
                                                 gint x,
                                                 gint y);

Adds `child_widget` to `layout`, at position (`x`,`y`). `layout` becomes the new parent container of `child_widget`.

`layout` : | a GtkLayout
`child_widget` : | child widget
`x` : | X position of child widget
`y` : | Y position of child widget

### gtk_layout_move ()

    void        gtk_layout_move                 (GtkLayout *layout,
                                                 GtkWidget *child_widget,
                                                 gint x,
                                                 gint y);

Moves a current child of `layout` to a new position.

`layout` : | a GtkLayout
`child_widget` : | a current child of `layout`
`x` : | X position to move to
`y` : | Y position to move to

### gtk_layout_set_size ()

    void        gtk_layout_set_size             (GtkLayout *layout,
                                                 guint width,
                                                 guint height);

Sets the size of the scrollable area of the layout.

`layout` : | a GtkLayout
`width` : | width of entire scrollable area
`height` : | height of entire scrollable area

### gtk_layout_get_size ()

    void        gtk_layout_get_size             (GtkLayout *layout,
                                                 guint *width,
                                                 guint *height);

Gets the size that has been set on the layout, and that determines the total extents of the layout's scrollbar area. See `gtk_layout_set_size()`.

`layout` : | a GtkLayout
`width` : | location to store the width set on `layout`, or `NULL`
`height` : | location to store the height set on `layout`, or `NULL`

### gtk_layout_freeze ()

    void        gtk_layout_freeze               (GtkLayout *layout);

### Warning

`gtk_layout_freeze` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

This is a deprecated function, it doesn't do anything useful.

`layout` : | a GtkLayout

### gtk_layout_thaw ()

    void        gtk_layout_thaw                 (GtkLayout *layout);

### Warning

`gtk_layout_thaw` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

This is a deprecated function, it doesn't do anything useful.

`layout` : | a GtkLayout

### gtk_layout_get_hadjustment ()

    GtkAdjustment* gtk_layout_get_hadjustment   (GtkLayout *layout);

This function should only be called after the layout has been placed in a GtkScrolledWindow or otherwise configured for scrolling. It returns the GtkAdjustment used for communication between the horizontal scrollbar and `layout`.

See GtkScrolledWindow, GtkScrollbar, GtkAdjustment for details.

`layout` : | a GtkLayout
Returns : | horizontal scroll adjustment

### gtk_layout_get_vadjustment ()

    GtkAdjustment* gtk_layout_get_vadjustment   (GtkLayout *layout);

This function should only be called after the layout has been placed in a GtkScrolledWindow or otherwise configured for scrolling. It returns the GtkAdjustment used for communication between the vertical scrollbar and `layout`.

See GtkScrolledWindow, GtkScrollbar, GtkAdjustment for details.

`layout` : | a GtkLayout
Returns : | vertical scroll adjustment

### gtk_layout_set_hadjustment ()

    void        gtk_layout_set_hadjustment      (GtkLayout *layout,
                                                 GtkAdjustment *adjustment);
