## Description

A GtkToolPalette allows you to add GtkToolItems to a palette-like container with different categories and drag and drop support.

A GtkToolPalette is created with a call to `gtk_tool_palette_new()`.

GtkToolItems cannot be added directly to a GtkToolPalette - instead they are added to a GtkToolItemGroup which can than be added to a GtkToolPalette. To add a GtkToolItemGroup to a GtkToolPalette, use `gtk_container_add()`.

    GtkWidget *palette, *group;
    GtkToolItem *item;

    palette = gtk_tool_palette_new ();
    group = gtk_tool_item_group_new (_("Test Category"));
    gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (palette), group);

    item = gtk_tool_button_new_from_stock (GTK_STOCK_OK);
    gtk_tool_item_group_insert (GTK_TOOL_ITEM_GROUP (group), item, -1);

The easiest way to use drag and drop with GtkToolPalette is to call `gtk_tool_palette_add_drag_dest()` with the desired drag source `palette` and the desired drag target `widget`. Then `gtk_tool_palette_get_drag_item()` can be used to get the dragged item in the "drag-data-received" signal handler of the drag target.
