    <title>Clutter Overview</title>
    <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.
