## 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

### GtkLayout

    typedef struct {
      GdkWindow *GSEAL (bin_window);
    } GtkLayout;

### 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`. [allow-none]
`vadjustment` : | vertical scroll adjustment, or `NULL`. [allow-none]
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`. [allow-none]
`height` : | location to store the height set on `layout`, or `NULL`. [allow-none]

### 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_get_hadjustment ()

    GtkAdjustment*      gtk_layout_get_hadjustment          (GtkLayout *layout);
