Description

An AtkRelation describes a relation between an object and one or more other objects. The actual relations that an object has with other objects are defined as an AtkRelationSet, which is a set of AtkRelations.

Describes the type of the relation

`ATK_RELATION_NULL`
`ATK_RELATION_CONTROLLED_BY`	Indicates an object controlled by one or more target objects.
`ATK_RELATION_CONTROLLER_FOR`	Indicates an object is an controller for one or more target objects.
`ATK_RELATION_LABEL_FOR`	Indicates an object is a label for one or more target objects.
`ATK_RELATION_LABELLED_BY`	Indicates an object is labelled by one or more target objects.
`ATK_RELATION_MEMBER_OF`	Indicates an object is a member of a group of one or more target objects.
`ATK_RELATION_NODE_CHILD_OF`	Indicates an object is a cell in a treetable which is displayed because a cell in the same column is expanded and identifies that cell.
`ATK_RELATION_FLOWS_TO`	Indicates that the object has content that flows logically to another AtkObject in a sequential way, (for instance text-flow).
`ATK_RELATION_FLOWS_FROM`	Indicates that the object has content that flows logically from another AtkObject in a sequential way, (for instance text-flow).
`ATK_RELATION_SUBWINDOW_OF`	[not sure about this one, ask Peter]
`ATK_RELATION_EMBEDS`	Indicates that the object visually embeds another object's content, i.e. this object's content flows around another's content.
`ATK_RELATION_EMBEDDED_BY`	Inverse of `ATK_RELATION_EMBEDS`, indicates that this object's content is visualy embedded in another object.
`ATK_RELATION_POPUP_FOR`	Indicates that an object is a popup for another object.
`ATK_RELATION_LAST_DEFINED`

atk_relation_type_register ()

AtkRelationType atk_relation_type_register  (const gchar *name);

Associate name with a new AtkRelationType

`name` :	a name string
Returns :	an AtkRelationType associated with `name`

atk_relation_type_get_name ()

G_CONST_RETURN gchar* atk_relation_type_get_name
                                            (AtkRelationType type);

Gets the description string describing the AtkRelationType type.

`type` :	The AtkRelationType whose name is required
Returns :	the string describing the AtkRelationType

atk_relation_type_for_name ()

AtkRelationType atk_relation_type_for_name  (const gchar *name);

Get the AtkRelationType type corresponding to a relation name.

`name` :	a string which is the (non-localized) name of an ATK relation type.
Returns :	the AtkRelationType enumerated type corresponding to the specified name, or ATK_RELATION_NULL if no matching relation type is found.

atk_relation_new ()

AtkRelation* atk_relation_new               (AtkObject **targets,
                                             gint n_targets,
                                             AtkRelationType relationship);

Create a new relation for the specified key and the specified list of targets.

`targets` :	an array of pointers to AtkObjects
`n_targets` :	number of AtkObjects pointed to by `targets`
`relationship` :	an AtkRelationType with which to create the new AtkRelation
Returns :	a pointer to a new AtkRelation

atk_relation_get_relation_type ()

AtkRelationType atk_relation_get_relation_type
                                            (AtkRelation *relation);

Gets the type of relation

`relation` :	an AtkRelation
Returns :	the type of `relation`

atk_relation_get_target ()

GPtrArray*  atk_relation_get_target         (AtkRelation *relation);

Gets the target list of relation

`relation` :	an AtkRelation
Returns :	the target list of `relation`

Properties

"`relation-type`" (AtkRelationType : Read / Write)	The type of the relation.
"`target`" (GValueArray : Read / Write)	An array of the targets for the relation.
