<title>Clutter Overview</title>
<partintro>
<para>
Clutter is a GObject based library for creating fast, visually
rich graphical user interfaces.
</para>
<para>
Clutter semantics work by having a stage (a window) and then
adding actors (widgets) to the stage and manipulating via the
actor api. Actors can contain child actors (ClutterGroup for
example) and be manipulated as a whole.
</para>
<para>
Animations and visual effects can be created via the use of
timelines and behaviours. Timelines provide accurate frame based
animations. Behaviours further extend this by taking a timeline, a
control function (ClutterAlpha) and then applying to actors as to
modify a property as a function of time.

<para>Clutter is usually compiled against a specific drawing backend.
All backends have a common API for querying the underlying platform,
