- * clutter_actor_get_allocation_vertices:
- * @self: A #ClutterActor
- * @ancestor: (allow-none): A #ClutterActor to calculate the vertices
- *   against, or %NULL to use the #ClutterStage
- * @verts: (out) (array fixed-size=4): return
- *   location for an array of 4 #graphene_point3d_t in which to store the result
- *
- * Calculates the transformed coordinates of the four corners of the
- * actor in the plane of @ancestor. The returned vertices relate to
- * the #ClutterActorBox coordinates as follows:
- *
- *  - @verts[0] contains (x1, y1)
- *  - @verts[1] contains (x2, y1)
- *  - @verts[2] contains (x1, y2)
- *  - @verts[3] contains (x2, y2)
- *
- * If @ancestor is %NULL the ancestor will be the #ClutterStage. In
- * this case, the coordinates returned will be the coordinates on
- * the stage before the projection is applied. This is different from
- * the behaviour of clutter_actor_get_abs_allocation_vertices().
