    <title>Description</title>

    <para>The <link
linkend="class-gtkmisc"><classname>gtk.Misc</classname></link> widget is an
abstract widget used to derive subclasses which have alignment and padding
attributes. The horizontal and vertical padding attributes allow extra space
to be added around the widget. The horizontal and vertical alignment
attributes enable the widget to be positioned within its allocated area. The
alignment values represent the fraction of available free space (allocation
minus the widget size) to place to the left or above the widget for x and y
alignment respectively. Note that if the widget is added to a container in
such a way that it expands automatically to fill its allocated area, the
alignment settings will have no effect.</para>

sets the fraction (0.0-1.0) of free space (horizontal allocation minus
widget width) to place to the left of the widget.
<parameter>yalign</parameter> sets the fraction (0.0-1.0) of free space
(vertical allocation minus widget height) to place above the widget.</para>
