The arrow widget
================

Description
-----------

   The arrow widget is derived from the misc widget (Note: GtkMisc)
and is intended for use where a directional arrow (in one of the four
cardinal directions) is desired. As such, it has very limited
functionality and basically only draws itself in a particular direction
and with a particular shadow type. The arrow widget will expand to fill
all the space it is allocated.

Options
-------

 - User Option: arrow_type
     The ARROW_TYPE option specifies which direction the arrow will
     point. It can be one of `GTK_ARROW_UP', `GTK_ARROW_DOWN',
     `GTK_ARROW_LEFT' or `GTK_ARROW_RIGHT'. This will set the arrow
     pointing in the direction specified.

 - User Option: shadow_type
     The SHADOW_TYPE option specifies how to draw the shadow for the
     arrow. Currently, only the `GTK_SHADOW_IN' and `GTK_SHADOW_OUT'
     shadow types are supported for drawing arrows. Other shadow types
     will cause nothing to be drawn.

Functions
---------

 - Function: guint gtk_arrow_get_type (void)
     Returns the `GtkArrow' type identifier.

 - Function: GtkWidget* gtk_arrow_new (GtkArrowType ARROW_TYPE,
          GtkShadowType SHADOW_TYPE)
     Create a new `GtkArrow' object and initialize it with the values
     ARROW_TYPE and SHADOW_TYPE. The new widget is returned as a
     pointer to a `GtkWidget' object. `NULL' is returned on failure.

 - Function: void gtk_arrow_set (GtkArrow *ARROW, GtkArrowType
          ARROW_TYPE, GtkShadowType SHADOW_TYPE)
     Set the ARROW_TYPE and SHADOW_TYPE options of an arrow widget. It
     is important to not set the fields of the `GtkArrow' structure
     directly (or, for that matter, any type derived from `GtkObject').

 - Function: GtkArrow* GTK_ARROW (gpointer OBJ)
     Cast a generic pointer to `GtkArrow*'. Note: Standard Macros, for
     more info.

 - Function: GtkArrowClass* GTK_ARROW_CLASS (gpointer CLASS)
     Cast a generic pointer to `GtkArrowClass*'. Note: Standard
     Macros, for more info.

 - Function: gint GTK_IS_ARROW (gpointer OBJ)
     Determine if a generic pointer refers to a `GtkArrow' object.
     Note: Standard Macros, for more info.
