<summary>A container that controls the alignment and size of its child.</summary>
<remarks><para>An Alignment widget controls the alignment and size of its child widget. It has four settings: <seecref="P:Gtk.Alignment.Xscale"/>, <seecref="P:Gtk.Alignment.Yscale"/>, <seecref="P:Gtk.Alignment.Xalign"/>, and <seecref="P:Gtk.Alignment.Yalign"/>.</para>
<para>The scale settings are used to specify how much the child widget should expand to fill the space allocated to the Alignment. The values can range from 0 (meaning the child doesn't expand at all) to 1 (meaning the child expands to fill all of the available space).</para>
<para>The alignment settings are used to position the child widget within the available area. The values range from 0 (top or left) to 1 (bottom or right). If the scale settings are both set to 1, (making the child expand), the alignment settings have no effect.</para>
<para>To add a child to an Alignment, use the <seecref="M:Gtk.Container.Add"/> method from the <seecref="T:Gtk.Container"/> class.</para></remarks>
<summary>Adjusts all the alignment and scale properties.</summary>
<paramname="xalign">The horizontal alignment of the child widget, from 0 (left) to 1 (right).</param>
<paramname="yalign">The vertical alignment of the child widget, from 0 (top) to 1 (bottom).</param>
<paramname="xscale">The amount that the child widget expands horizontally to fill up unused space, from 0 to 1.</param>
<paramname="yscale">The amount that the child widget expands vertically to fill up unused space, from 0 to 1.</param>
<remarks><para>For the scale parameters, a value of 0 indicates that the child widget should never expand. A value of 1 indicates that the child widget will expand to fill all of the space allocated for the Alignment.</para></remarks>
<summary>Manage the vertical alignment of the child widget.</summary>
<paramname="value">A new vertical alignment for the child widget.</param>
<returns>The child widget's current vertical alignment.</returns>
<remarks><para>This property is a value between 0 and 1 where 0 indicates alignment at the top of the container, and 1 indicates alignment at the bottom of the container.</para></remarks>
<summary>Manage the horizontal alignment of the child widget.</summary>
<paramname="value">A new horizontal alignment for the child widget.</param>
<returns>The child widget's current horizontal alignment.</returns>
<remarks><para>This property is a value between 0 and 1, where 0 indicates no child expansion, and 1 indicates the child expands to fill the Alignment's allocated horizontal size.</para></remarks>
<summary>Manage the horizontal expansion of the child widget.</summary>
<paramname="value">The proportion that the child widget should expand horizontally.</param>
<returns>The current horizontal expansion of the child widget.</returns>
<remarks><para>This property is a value between 0 and 1, where 0 indicates no child expansion, and 1 indicates the child expands to fill the Alignment's allocated horizontal size.</para></remarks>
<summary>Manage the vertical expansion of the child widget.</summary>
<paramname="value">The proportion that the child widget should expand vertically.</param>
<returns>The current vertical expansion of the child widget.</returns>
<remarks><para>This property is a value between 0 and 1, where 0 indicates no child expansion, and 1 indicates the child expands to fill the Alignment's allocated vertical size.</para></remarks>
<returns>Creates a new instance of Alignment, using the GLib-provided type</returns>
<remarks>
<para>This is a constructor used by derivative types of <seecref="T:Gtk.Alignment"/> that would have their own GLib type assigned to it. This is not typically used by C# code.</para>
