<!-- ##### SECTION Title ##### -->
GtkMisc

<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->
a base class for widgets with alignments and padding.

<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
The #GtkMisc widget is an abstract widget which is not useful itself, but
is used to derive subclasses which have alignment and padding attributes.
</para>
<para>
The horizontal and vertical padding attributes allows extra space to be
added around the widget.
</para>
<para>
The horizontal and vertical alignment attributes enable the widget to be
positioned within its allocated area. Note that if the widget is added to
a container in such a way that it expands automatically to fill its
allocated area, the alignment settings will not alter the widgets position.
