## Implemented Interfaces

GtkHSeparator implements AtkImplementorIface, GtkBuildable and GtkOrientable.

## Description

The GtkHSeparator widget is a horizontal separator, used to group the widgets within a window. It displays a horizontal line with a shadow to make it appear sunken into the interface.

### Note

The GtkHSeparator widget is not used as a separator within menus. To create a separator in a menu create an empty GtkSeparatorMenuItem widget using `gtk_separator_menu_item_new()` and add it to the menu with `gtk_menu_shell_append()`.
