<!-- ##### SECTION Title ##### -->
GtkAlignment

<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->
a widget which controls the alignment and size of its child.

<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
The #GtkAlignment widget controls the alignment and size of its child widget.
It has four settings: xscale, yscale, xalign, and yalign.
</para>
<para>
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).
</para>
<para>
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.

<!-- ##### STRUCT GtkAlignment ##### -->
<para>
The #GtkAlignment-struct struct contains private data only, and should
be accessed using the functions below.
</para>


<!-- ##### FUNCTION gtk_alignment_new ##### -->
<para>
Creates a new #GtkAlignment.
</para>

@xalign: the horizontal alignment of the child widget, from 0 (left) to 1
(right).
@yalign: the vertical alignment of the child widget, from 0 (top) to 1
(bottom).
@xscale: the amount that the child widget expands horizontally to fill up
unused space, from 0 to 1.
A value of 0 indicates that the child widget should never expand.
A value of 1 indicates that the child widget will expand to fill all of the
space allocated for the #GtkAlignment.
@yscale: the amount that the child widget expands vertically to fill up
unused space, from 0 to 1. The values are similar to @xscale.
@Returns: the new #GtkAlignment.


<!-- ##### FUNCTION gtk_alignment_set ##### -->
<para>
Sets the #GtkAlignment values.
</para>

@alignment: a #GtkAlignment.
@xalign: the horizontal alignment of the child widget, from 0 (left) to 1
(right).
@yalign: the vertical alignment of the child widget, from 0 (top) to 1
(bottom).
@xscale: the amount that the child widget expands horizontally to fill up
unused space, from 0 to 1.
A value of 0 indicates that the child widget should never expand.
A value of 1 indicates that the child widget will expand to fill all of the
