Detailed Description

The GtkAlignment widget controls the alignment and size of its child widget. It has four settings: xscale, yscale, xalign, and yalign. The scale settings are used to specify how much the child widget should expand to fill the space allocated to the GtkAlignment. The values can range from 0 (meaning the child doesn't expand at all) to 1 (meaning the child expands to fill all of the available space). The align settings are used to place the child widget within the available area. The values range from 0 (top or left) to 1 (bottom or right). Of course, if the scale settings are both set to 1, the alignment settings have no effect.

Convenient Construction

gtkAlignment is the equivalent of gtkAlignmentNew.
