+/**
+ * SECTION:gtkviewport
+ * @Short_description: An adapter which makes widgets scrollable
+ * @Title: GtkViewport
+ * @See_also:#GtkScrolledWindow, #GtkAdjustment
+ *
+ * The #GtkViewport widget acts as an adaptor class, implementing
+ * scrollability for child widgets that lack their own scrolling
+ * capabilities. Use #GtkViewport to scroll child widgets such as
+ * #GtkTable, #GtkBox, and so on.
+ *
+ * If a widget has native scrolling abilities, such as #GtkTextView,
+ * #GtkTreeView or #GtkIconview, it can be added to a #GtkScrolledWindow
+ * with gtk_container_add(). If a widget does not, you must first add the
+ * widget to a #GtkViewport, then add the viewport to the scrolled window.
+ * The convenience function gtk_scrolled_window_add_with_viewport() does
+ * exactly this, so you can ignore the presence of the viewport.
