<p>
This appendix is a quick tour of the GTK+ and Gnome object
hierarchy. It includes <span class="STRUCTNAME">
GtkObject</span> and all subclasses from both libraries, a
brief description of each, and the header files the objects
are found in. It also includes screen shots of widgets, to
help you find the correct widget for a given task. The <tt
class="APPLICATION">testgtk</tt> and <tt class=
"APPLICATION">test-gnome</tt> programs that come with the
GTK+ and Gnome libraries are also a good way to find
widgets; many of the screenshots in this appendix are from
those programs.
</p>
<p>
The specific header file containing each object is listed;
however, all GTK+ header files can be included with the <tt
class="FILENAME">gtk/gtk.h</tt> convenience header. All
GTK+ and Gnome headers can be included with the <tt class=
"FILENAME">gnome.h</tt> header.
</p>
<p>
Some objects are described as "abstract base
classes"---this means that only the subclasses of the
object can be instantiated, but all of the subclasses can
be manipulated through the base class's interface.
</p>
<p>
As a general rule, you should try to use <i class=
"EMPHASIS">the most specific object possible</i>. That is,
you could use <tt class="CLASSNAME">GtkWindow</tt> for your
main application window, but <tt class="CLASSNAME">
GnomeApp</tt> is a better choice; you could roll your own
about dialog from <tt class="CLASSNAME">GnomeDialog</tt>,
but <tt class="CLASSNAME">GnomeAbout</tt> is a better
choice. This maximizes UI consistency and minimizes your
effort.
</p>
<p>
Both GTK+ and Gnome come with "test" programs, called <tt
class="FILENAME">testgtk</tt> and <tt class="FILENAME">
test-gnome</tt>, respectively. These programs are used to
test the widgets and other features in each library.
They're also an excellent source of sample code, and a good
way to browse the available widgets and find the one you
need.

<p>
This would be for GtkButton. The parent of the object (if
any) is shown, then the object itself (possibly
highlighted or in bold), then the <i class="EMPHASIS">
immediate</i> children of the object, if any. The second
element that might be nice: some of the objects are
"immature" or "unstable", which is a sort of mild warning
suggesting to programmers that they may not want to use
the object. It might be nice to have some sort of icon or
margin text used to mark those objects.
