### Class

# Clutter BinLayout

#### Description [src]

    class Clutter.BinLayout : Clutter.LayoutManager {
      /* No available fields */
    }

A simple layout manager

`ClutterBinLayout` is a layout manager which implements the following policy:

- the preferred size is the maximum preferred size between all the children of the container using the layout;
- each child is allocated in “layers”, on on top of the other;
- for each layer there are horizontal and vertical alignment policies.

The bin-layout example shows how to pack actors inside a `ClutterBinLayout`.

#### Signals

##### Signals inherited from ClutterLayoutManager (1)

###### ClutterLayoutManager::layout-changed

The signal is emitted each time a layout manager has been changed. Every `ClutterActor` using the `manager` instance as a layout manager should connect a handler to the `ClutterLayoutManager::layout-changed` signal and queue a relayout on themselves:
