Add some extra detail to the Discussion section of the
composite actor recipe, concentrating on the pros and
cons of this approach.
Also explain more about the Clutter parts of the implementation.
Also general tidy up of language and style.
Add some extra description to the allocate() function,
explaining how the allocation has to be adjusted to
coordinates relative to the actor as a whole, before
applying to the single child actor it is composed from.
Include all the code examples inline as part of the recipe.
Remove sections around each code example, as these are
unnecessary; leave full discussion for the Discussion section
instead of trying to cram it in around the code example.
As most actor subclasses will probably want to implement
size requisition, give a simple example of how to do this
on the basis of the composed actor's size, plus some padding.
Added 3 examples for the box layout recipe:
1) Simple box layout demonstrating how to set actor properties
2) Trivial menu implementation using box layout
3) Demonstration app which enables tweaking and testing
of layout property interactions
Also inlined example 1 in the solution section and added
more explanatory text in the discussion.
Other frameworks expose the same functionality as "auto-reverse",
probably to match the cassette tape player. It actually makes sense
for Clutter to follow suit.
clutter_timeline_set_reverse() can be used to
automatically reverse a timeline's direction each time
it completes, so use that in looping animation recipe and
examples.

cookbook: Added animated scaling example
Recipe explains how to animate scaling a single actor.
Also covers scaling vs. resizing, scale center, and
scaling within layouts and containers.
The first example shows how animations around each scale
gravity look, as well as tracking the transformed position
and size of the actor and displaying those.
The second example is a simple image viewer with zoom in/out
using scaling.
Added an example showing scaling of an actor on
each of the scaling gravity settings (NORTH_WEST, NORTH etc.),
with a mark indicating the center being used.
Displays the transformed size and position, updated
on each paint of the actor.

cookbook: Recipe for "looping animations"
cookbook: Clarify how signals are emitted during looped animation
cookbook: First draft for looping animations recipe
cookbook: Recipe skeleton for "looping animations"
cookbook: Looping animation examples
Added a recipe giving examples of how to loop
animations for each part of the animation API (implicit,
animator, state).
The discussion covers looping a fixed number of times
and inverting a single implicit animation to create
a loop which goes back to its start on each iteration.
Recipe covers adding handlers for button-press-event and
button-release-event signals on actors, and how to
examine the content of a ClutterButtonEvent via API functions.
The discussion section explains about click count
(the criteria for how clicks get counted, including
distance and time settings); how button numbers are reported;
and how to use ClutterClickAction as an alternative
for press + release in certain scenarios.
This recipe explains how to use the three animation
approaches (implicit, State, Animator) to animate movement
of actors.
Includes some guidelines about which approach to use when, with
a full code example for each approach.
The discussion section covers some subtleties around animated
movement; namely: moving actors out of their containers; anchor
points and movement; moving in the depth axis; interactions
between animated movement and constraints.
Added an example showing how to move two actors between
two states (one minimised, one maximised) using ClutterState
to do the movement. Also shows how movement can be mixed
with other animation (in this case, scaling).
The recipe covers how to use ClutterBindConstraint
to bind actor sizes together.
It gives some examples of where this approach is appropriate,
as well as explaining an alternative using allocation-changed
or notify::* signals.
Three examples are given:
1. Resizing a texture to the stage.
2. Resizing a rectangle to act as a transparent overlay on
top of a texture (using constraints).
3. Resizing a rectangle to act as a transparent overlay on
top of a texture, but with a size proportional to the texture
(using a handler connected to allocation-changed signals
emitted by the texture).
An alternative method (not using constraints) to bind
one actor's size and position to another. Used as
an example in the recipe about resizing one actor in
sync with a source actor.
A simple example showing how to scale an actor to the stage.
Demonstrates ClutterBindConstraint and ClutterAlignConstraint
in a fashion suitable for a short recipe.
