+/**
+ * SECTION:gutterrenderer
+ * @Short_description: Gutter cell renderer
+ * @Title: GtkSourceGutterRenderer
+ * @See_also: #GtkSourceGutter
+ *
+ * A #GtkSourceGutterRenderer represents a column in a #GtkSourceGutter. The
+ * column contains one cell for each visible line of the #GtkTextBuffer. Due to
+ * text wrapping, a cell can thus span multiple lines of the #GtkTextView. In
+ * this case, #GtkSourceGutterRendererAlignmentMode controls the alignment of
+ * the cell.
+ *
+ * The gutter renderer must announce its #GtkSourceGutterRenderer:size. The
+ * height is determined by the text view height. The width must be determined by
+ * the gutter renderer. The width generally takes into account the entire text
+ * buffer. For instance, to display the line numbers, if the buffer contains 100
+ * lines, the gutter renderer will always set its width such as three digits can
+ * be printed, even if only the first 20 lines are shown. Another strategy is to
+ * take into account only the visible lines.  In this case, only two digits are
+ * necessary to display the line numbers of the first 20 lines. To take another
+ * example, the gutter renderer for #GtkSourceMark<!-- -->s doesn't need to take
+ * into account the text buffer to announce its width. It only depends on the
+ * icons size displayed in the gutter column.
+ *
+ * An horizontal and vertical padding can be added with
+ * gtk_source_gutter_renderer_set_padding().  The total width of a gutter
+ * renderer is its size (#GtkSourceGutterRenderer:size) plus two times the
+ * horizontal padding (#GtkSourceGutterRenderer:xpad).
+ *
+ * When the available size to render a cell is greater than the required size to
+ * render the cell contents, the cell contents can be aligned horizontally and
+ * vertically with gtk_source_gutter_renderer_set_alignment().
+ *
+ * The cells rendering occurs in three phases:
+ * - begin: the gtk_source_gutter_renderer_begin() function is called when some
+ *   cells need to be redrawn. It provides the associated region of the
+ *   #GtkTextBuffer. The cells need to be redrawn when the #GtkTextView is
+ *   scrolled, or when the state of the cells change (see
+ *   #GtkSourceGutterRendererState).
+ * - draw: gtk_source_gutter_renderer_draw() is called for each cell that needs
+ *   to be drawn.
+ * - end: finally, gtk_source_gutter_renderer_end() is called.
