## Detailed Description

A ToolPalette allows you to add ToolItems to a palette-like container with various categories and drag and drop support.

ToolItems cannot be added directly to a ToolPalette - instead they are added to a ToolItemGroup which can than be added to a ToolPalette. To add a ToolItemGroup to a ToolPalette, use Gtk::Container::add().

The easiest way to use drag and drop with ToolPalette is to call add_drag_dest() with the desired drag source palette and the desired drag target widget. Then get_drag_item() can be used to get the dragged item in the "drag-data-received" signal handler of the drag target.
