A GtkTable is a very adaptable container widget
that is capable of having the layout of its children structured in both
directions. There is a more simplistic version of a similar container
in GtkFixed, but GtkTable
offers the advantage that the child positions can be relative rather than
absolute. The table's stucturing is similar to that of a
GtkBox.
As with the box classes, there is an underlying single-child structure
containing packing information, which consitutes one element of the array
of child data in a GtkTable. This element is known
as a GtkTableChild, and can be accessed through
the children property inherited from
GtkContainer. The child objects themselves can
also be accessed more directly through the
children() method inherited
from the same ancestor.
