## Detailed Description

A GValue wrapper class.

Value wraps the GValue structure which is basically a variable container that consists of a type identifier and a specific value of that type. The type identifier within a GValue structure determines the type of the associated value.

Values are used throughout the Inti API to set and get property values. You don't have to initialize a Value before using it. The constructor initializes the Value for you. Normally you would create a Value on the stack and pass a pointer or reference to it, to a constructor or method as required.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Inti::G::Value::Value | ( | GType | type | ) | `[explicit]`

  | Construct a Value to hold a value of type. Parameters:
  type | The type identifier of the value.

Inti::G::Value::Value | ( | GValue * | value | ) | `[explicit]`

  | Construct a temporary Value to hold an existing GValue. Parameters:
  value | An existing GValue structure.
Value does not take over ownership of the GValue, no copy is made and the GValue is not freed.

Inti::G::Value::Value | ( | GValue * | value,
|  | bool | copy
| ) |

  | Construct a Value to hold an existing GValue. Parameters:
  value | An existing GValue structure.
  copy | Set true if the Value should make a copy of value and use that, set false if it should take over ownership of the value.
Value either makes a copy of the GValue or takes over its ownership. When the Value is destroyed the GValue freed.
