Clutter.Actor.get_width

### Method

# Clutter Actorget_width

#### Declaration [src]

    gfloat
    clutter_actor_get_width (
      ClutterActor* self
    )

#### Description [src]

Retrieves the width of a `ClutterActor`.

If the actor has a valid allocation, this function will return the width of the allocated area given to the actor.

If the actor does not have a valid allocation, this function will return the actor’s natural width, that is the preferred width of the actor.

If you care whether you get the preferred width or the width that has been assigned to the actor, you should probably call a different function like `clutter_actor_get_allocation_box()` to retrieve the allocated size or `clutter_actor_get_preferred_width()` to retrieve the preferred width.

If an actor has a fixed width, for instance a width that has been assigned using clutter_actor_set_width(), the width returned will be the same value.

Gets property | `Clutter.Actor:width`

#### Return value

Returns: | `gfloat`
| The width of the actor, in pixels.
