* @Short_description: Grouping widgets so they request the same size
* @Title: GtkSizeGroup
*
* #GtkSizeGroup provides a mechanism for grouping a number of widgets
* together so they all request the same amount of space. This is
* typically useful when you want a column of widgets to have the same
* size, but you can’t use a #GtkGrid widget.
*
* In detail, the size requested for each widget in a #GtkSizeGroup is
* the maximum of the sizes that would have been requested for each
* widget in the size group if they were not in the size group. The mode
* of the size group (see gtk_size_group_set_mode()) determines whether
* this applies to the horizontal size, the vertical size, or both sizes.
*
* Note that size groups only affect the amount of space requested, not
* the size that the widgets finally receive. If you want the widgets in
* a #GtkSizeGroup to actually be the same size, you need to pack them in
* such a way that they get the size they request and not more. For
* example, if you are packing your widgets into a table, you would not
* include the %GTK_FILL flag.
*
* #GtkSizeGroup objects are referenced by each widget in the size group,
* so once you have added all widgets to a #GtkSizeGroup, you can drop
* the initial reference to the size group with g_object_unref(). If the
* widgets in the size group are subsequently destroyed, then they will
* be removed from the size group and drop their references on the size
* group; when all widgets have been removed, the size group will be
* freed.
*
* Widgets can be part of multiple size groups; GTK+ will compute the
* horizontal size of a widget from the horizontal requisition of all
* widgets that can be reached from the widget by a chain of size groups
* of type %GTK_SIZE_GROUP_HORIZONTAL or %GTK_SIZE_GROUP_BOTH, and the
* vertical size from the vertical requisition of all widgets that can be
* reached from the widget by a chain of size groups of type
* %GTK_SIZE_GROUP_VERTICAL or %GTK_SIZE_GROUP_BOTH.
*
* Note that only non-contextual sizes of every widget are ever consulted
* by size groups (since size groups have no knowledge of what size a widget
* will be allocated in one dimension, it cannot derive how much height
* a widget will receive for a given width). When grouping widgets that
* trade height for width in mode %GTK_SIZE_GROUP_VERTICAL or %GTK_SIZE_GROUP_BOTH:
* the height for the minimum width will be the requested height for all
* widgets in the group. The same is of course true when horizontally grouping
* width for height widgets.
*
* Widgets that trade height-for-width should set a reasonably large minimum width
* by way of #GtkLabel:width-chars for instance. Widgets with static sizes as well
* as widgets that grow (such as ellipsizing text) need no such considerations.
*
* # GtkSizeGroup as GtkBuildable

* Size groups can be specified in a UI definition by placing an
