/**
 * SECTION:clutter-layout-manager
 * @short_description: Layout managers base class
 *
 * #ClutterLayoutManager is a base abstract class for layout managers. A
 * layout manager implements the layouting policy for a composite or a
 * container actor: it controls the preferred size of the actor to which
 * it has been paired, and it controls the allocation of its children.
 *
 * Any composite or container #ClutterActor subclass can delegate the
 * layouting of its children to a #ClutterLayoutManager.
 *
 * Clutter provides some simple #ClutterLayoutManager sub-classes, like
 * #ClutterFlowLayout and #ClutterBinLayout.
 *
 * ## Implementing a ClutterLayoutManager
 * The implementation of a layout manager does not differ from  the
 * implementation of the size requisition and allocation bits of
 * #ClutterActor, so you should read the relative documentation
 * for subclassing #ClutterActor.
 *
 * The layout manager implementation can hold a back pointer to the
 * #ClutterContainer by implementing the #ClutterLayoutManagerClass.set_container()
 * virtual function. The layout manager should not hold a real reference (i.e.
 * call g_object_ref()) on the container actor, to avoid reference cycles.
 *
 * If a layout manager has properties affecting the layout policies then it should
 * emit the #ClutterLayoutManager::layout-changed signal on itself by using the
 * clutter_layout_manager_layout_changed() function whenever one of these properties
 * changes.
 *
 * ## Layout Properties
 *
 * If a layout manager has layout properties, that is properties that
 * should exist only as the result of the presence of a specific (layout
 * manager, container actor, child actor) combination, and it wishes to store
 * those properties inside a #ClutterLayoutMeta, then it should override the
 * #ClutterLayoutManagerClass.get_child_meta_type() virtual function to return
 * the #GType of the #ClutterLayoutMeta sub-class used to store the layout
 * properties; optionally, the #ClutterLayoutManager sub-class might also
 * override the #ClutterLayoutManagerClass.create_child_meta() virtual function
 * to control how the #ClutterLayoutMeta instance is created, otherwise the
 * default implementation will be equivalent to:
 *
 * |[
 *  ClutterLayoutManagerClass *klass;
 *  GType meta_type;
 *
 *  klass = CLUTTER_LAYOUT_MANAGER_GET_CLASS (manager);
 *  meta_type = klass->get_child_meta_type (manager);
 *
 *  return g_object_new (meta_type,
 *                       "manager", manager,
 *                       "container", container,
 *                       "actor", actor,
 *                       NULL);
 * ]|
 *
 * Where `manager` is the  #ClutterLayoutManager, `container` is the
 * #ClutterContainer using the #ClutterLayoutManager, and `actor` is
 * the #ClutterActor child of the #ClutterContainer.
 *
 * ## Using ClutterLayoutManager with ClutterScript
 *
 * #ClutterLayoutManager instances can be created in the same way
 * as other objects in #ClutterScript; properties can be set using the
 * common syntax.
 *
 * Layout properties can be set on children of a container with
 * a #ClutterLayoutManager using the `layout::` modifier on the property
 * name, for instance:
 *
 * |[
 * {
 *   "type" : "ClutterActor",
 *   "layout-manager" : { "type" : "ClutterGridLayout" },
 *   "children" : [
 *     {
 *       "type" : "ClutterText",
 *       "text" : "Some text",
 *
 *       "layout::row" : 0,
 *       "layout::column" : 0,
 *       "layout::x-align" : "left",
 *       "layout::y-align" : "center",
 *       "layout::x-expand" : true,
 *       "layout::y-expand" : true
 *     },
 *     {
 *       "type" : "ClutterText",
 *       "text" : "Some more text",
 *
 *       "layout::row" : 0,
 *       "layout::column" : 1,
 *       "layout::x-align" : "right",
 *       "layout::y-align" : "center",
 *       "layout::x-expand" : true,
 *       "layout::y-expand" : true
 *     }
 *   ]
 * }
 * ]|
 *
 * #ClutterLayoutManager is available since Clutter 1.2
