## Detailed Description

This represents a widget hierarchy from the topmost widget, typically a toplevel, to any child.

This widget path abstraction is used in StyleContext on behalf of the real widget in order to query style information.

If you are using gtkmm widgets, you probably will not need to use this API directly, as there is Widget::get_path(), and the style context returned by Widget::get_style_context() will be automatically updated on widget hierarchy changes.

Since gtkmm 3.0:
