/**
 * SECTION:clutter-box
 * @short_description: A Generic layout container
 *
 * #ClutterBox is a #ClutterActor sub-class implementing the #ClutterContainer
 * interface. A Box delegates the whole size requisition and size allocation to
 * a #ClutterLayoutManager instance.
 *
 * <example id="example-clutter-box">
 *   <title>Using ClutterBox</title>
 *   <para>The following code shows how to create a #ClutterBox with
 *   a #ClutterLayoutManager sub-class, and how to add children to
 *   it via clutter_box_pack().</para>
 *   <programlisting>
 *  ClutterActor *box;
 *  ClutterLayoutManager *layout;
 *
 *  /&ast; Create the layout manager first &ast;/
 *  layout = clutter_box_layout_new ();
 *  clutter_box_layout_set_homogeneous (CLUTTER_BOX_LAYOUT (layout), TRUE);
 *  clutter_box_layout_set_spacing (CLUTTER_BOX_LAYOUT (layout), 12);
 *
 *  /&ast; Then create the ClutterBox actor. The Box will take
 *   &ast; ownership of the ClutterLayoutManager instance by sinking
 *   &ast; its floating reference
 *   &ast;/
 *  box = clutter_box_new (layout);
 *
 *  /&ast; Now add children to the Box using the variadic arguments
 *   &ast; function clutter_box_pack() to set layout properties
 *   &ast;/
 *  clutter_box_pack (CLUTTER_BOX (box), actor,
 *                    "x-align", CLUTTER_BOX_ALIGNMENT_CENTER,
 *                    "y-align", CLUTTER_BOX_ALIGNMENT_END,
 *                    "expand", TRUE,
 *                    NULL);
 *   </programlisting>
 * </example>
 *
 * #ClutterBox<!-- -->'s clutter_box_pack() wraps the generic
 * clutter_container_add_actor() function, but it also allows setting
 * layout properties while adding the new child to the box.
 *
 * #ClutterBox is available since Clutter 1.2
