## Detailed Description

A GdkGeometry C++ wrapper class.

The Geometry object gives the window manager information about a window's geometry constraints. Normally you would set these using Gtk::Window::set_geometry_hints(). Gtk::Window then sets the hints on the Gdk::Window it creates.

Gdk::Window::set_geometry_hints() expects the hints to be fully valid already and simply passes them to the window manager. In contrast, Gtk::Window::set_geometry_hints() performs some interpretation. For example, Gtk::Window will apply the hints to the geometry widget instead of the toplevel window, if you set a geometry widget. Also, if the min_width, min_height, max_width and max_height fields may be set to -1, Gtk::Window will substitute the size request of the window or geometry widget. If the minimum size hint is not provided, Gtk::Window will use its requisition as the minimum size. If the minimum size is provided and a geometry widget is set, Gtk::Window will take the minimum size as the minimum size of the geometry widget rather than the entire window. The base size is treated similarly.

The canonical use-case for Gtk::Window::set_geometry_hints() is to get a terminal widget to resize properly. Here, the terminal text area should be the geometry widget; Gtk::Window will then automatically set the base size to the size of other widgets in the terminal window, such as the menubar and scrollbar. Then, the width_inc and height_inc fields should be set to the size of one character in the terminal. Finally, the base size should be set to the size of one character. The net effect is that the minimum size of the terminal will have a 1x1 character terminal area, and only terminal sizes on the "character grid" will be allowed.

Example: How the terminal would be implemented.

        Gtk::Widget *terminal; // Assume a terminal area widget exists.
        Gtk::Window *toplevel; // Assume a toplevel window exists.
        Geometry hints;

        hints.set_base_size(terminal->char_width, terminal->char_height);
        hints.set_min_size(terminal->char_width, terminal->char_height);
        hints.set_resize_increments(terminal->char_width, terminal->char_height);
        toplevel->set_geometry_hints(terminal, hints);

Geometry uses default copy, assignment and destruction.
