 * @Title: ClutterConstraint
 * @Short_Description: Abstract class for constraints on position or size
 * @See_Also: #ClutterAction
 *
 * #ClutterConstraint is a base abstract class for modifiers of a #ClutterActor
 * position or size.
 *
 * A #ClutterConstraint sub-class should contain the logic for modifying
 * the position or size of the #ClutterActor to which it is applied, by
 * updating the actor's allocation. Each #ClutterConstraint can change the
 * allocation of the actor to which they are applied by overriding the
 * <function>update_allocation()</function> virtual function.
 *

 *   <title>Using Constraints</title>
 *   <para>Constraints can be used with fixed layout managers, like
 *   #ClutterFixedLayout, or with actors implicitly using a fixed layout
 *   manager, like #ClutterGroup and #ClutterStage.</para>
 *   <para>Constraints provide a way to build user interfaces by using
 *   relations between #ClutterActor<!-- -->s, without explicit fixed
 *   positioning and sizing, similarly to how fluid layout managers like
 *   #ClutterBoxLayout and #ClutterTableLayout lay out their children.</para>
 *   <para>Constraints are attached to a #ClutterActor, and are available
 *   for inspection using clutter_actor_get_constraints().</para>
 *   <para>Clutter provides different implementation of the #ClutterConstraint
 *   abstract class, for instance:</para>
