## Description

GooCanvasItemModel defines the interface that models for canvas items must implement, and contains methods for operating on canvas item models.

## Details

### GooCanvasItemModel

    typedef struct _GooCanvasItemModel GooCanvasItemModel;

GooCanvasItemModel is a typedef used for objects that implement the GooCanvasItemModel interface.

(There is no actual GooCanvasItemModel struct, since it is only an interface. But using 'GooCanvasItemModel' is more helpful than using 'GObject'.)

GooCanvasItemModelIFace holds the virtual methods that make up the GooCanvasItemModel interface.

Simple item models only need to implement the `get_parent()`, `set_parent()` and `create_item()` methods.

Items that support transforms should also implement `get_transform()` and `set_transform()`. Items that support styles should implement `get_style()` and `set_style()`.

Container items must implement `get_n_children()` and `get_child()`. Containers that support dynamic changes to their children should implement `add_child()`, `move_child()` and `remove_child()`. Layout containers like GooCanvasTable may implement `get_child_property()` and `set_child_property()`.

`get_n_children` () | returns the number of children of the model.
`get_child` () | returns the child at the given index.
`add_child` () | adds a child.
`move_child` () | moves a child up or down the stacking order.
`remove_child` () | removes a child.
`get_child_property` () | gets a child property of a given child model, e.g. the "row" or "column" property of a model in a GooCanvasTableModel.
`set_child_property` () | sets a child property for a given child model.
`get_parent` () | gets the model's parent.
`set_parent` () | sets the model's parent.
`create_item` () | creates a default canvas item to view the model.
`get_transform` () | gets the model's transformation matrix.
`set_transform` () | sets the model's transformation matrix.
`get_style` () | gets the model's style.
`set_style` () | sets the model's style.
`child_added` () | signal emitted when a child is added.
`child_moved` () | signal emitted when a child is moved in the stacking order.
`child_removed` () | signal emitted when a child is removed.
`changed` () | signal emitted when the model has changed.
`child_notify` () | signal emitted when a child property has changed.
