gtk:cell-area-create-context (area)

area -- a gtk:cell-area object

The newly created gtk:cell-area-context object which can be used with area.

Creates a cell area context to be used with area for all purposes. The gtk:cell-area-context object stores geometry information for rows for which it was operated on, it is important to use the same context for the same row of data at all times, that is, one should render and handle events with the same gtk:cell-area-context object which was used to request the size of those rows of data. The gtk:cell-area implementation is deprecated since 4.10. List views use widgets for displaying their contents.
