## Description

GooCanvasTableModel is a model for a table container used to lay out other canvas items. It is used in a similar way to how the GtkTable widget is used to lay out GTK+ widgets.

Item models are added to the table using the normal methods, then `goo_canvas_item_model_set_child_properties()` is used to specify how each child item is to be positioned within the table (i.e. which row and column it is in, how much padding it should have and whether it should expand or shrink).

GooCanvasTableModel is a subclass of GooCanvasItemModelSimple and so inherits all of the style properties such as "stroke-color", "fill-color" and "line-width". Setting a style property on a GooCanvasTableModel will affect all children of the GooCanvasTableModel (unless the children override the property setting).

GooCanvasTableModel implements the GooCanvasItemModel interface, so you can use the GooCanvasItemModel functions such as `goo_canvas_item_model_raise()` and `goo_canvas_item_rotate()`, and the properties such as "visibility" and "pointer-events".

To create a GooCanvasTableModel use `goo_canvas_table_model_new()`.

To get or set the properties of an existing GooCanvasTableModel, use `g_object_get()` and `g_object_set()`.

## Details

### GooCanvasTableModel

    typedef struct _GooCanvasTableModel GooCanvasTableModel;

The GooCanvasTableModel struct contains private data only.

### goo_canvas_table_model_new ()

    GooCanvasItemModel* goo_canvas_table_model_new          (GooCanvasItemModel *parent,
                                                             ...);

Creates a new table model.

`parent` : | the parent model, or `NULL`. If a parent is specified, it will assume ownership of the item, and the item will automatically be freed when it is removed from the parent. Otherwise call `g_object_unref()` to free it.
`...` : | optional pairs of property names and values, and a terminating `NULL`.
Returns : | a new table model.

Here's an example showing how to create a table with a square, a circle and a triangle in it:

     GooCanvasItemModel *table, *square, *circle, *triangle;

     table = goo_canvas_table_model_new (root,
                                         "row-spacing", 4.0,
                                         "column-spacing", 4.0,
                                         NULL);
     goo_canvas_item_model_translate (table, 400, 200);

     square = goo_canvas_rect_model_new (table, 0.0, 0.0, 50.0, 50.0,
                                         "fill-color", "red",
                                         NULL);
     goo_canvas_item_model_set_child_properties (table, square,
                                                 "row", 0,
                                                 "column", 0,
                                                 NULL);

     circle = goo_canvas_ellipse_model_new (table, 0.0, 0.0, 25.0, 25.0,
                                            "fill-color", "blue",
                                            NULL);
     goo_canvas_item_model_set_child_properties (table, circle,
                                                 "row", 0,
                                                 "column", 1,
                                                 NULL);

     triangle = goo_canvas_polyline_model_new (table, TRUE, 3,
                                               25.0, 0.0, 0.0, 50.0, 50.0, 50.0,
                                               "fill-color", "yellow",
                                               NULL);
     goo_canvas_item_model_set_child_properties (table, triangle,
                                                 "row", 0,
                                                 "column", 2,
                                                 NULL);
