## Detailed Description

Pack widgets in regular patterns.

Gtk::Table is one of the primary ways of grouping widgets together. It consists of a set of lattice points to to which widgets can be attached. There are rows + 1 lattice points vertically and columns + 1 lattice points horizontally. Lattice points start counting from 0. Lattice points can either be specified to be homogeneous, meaning equally spaced, or not homogeneous, meaning each cell should be calculated based on the widgets contained in the row and column. The homogeneous property defaults to false.

Widgets can be attached to the table by specifying the top, bottom, left and right points corresponding to upper, lefthand lattice point and the lower, righthand lattice point which the widget should span. Widgets can either be contained in a cell or may span cells. A number of options control the resizing behavior of widgets contained in the table.

Packing options:
  There are a number of packing options that can be specified when adding a widget. With `Gtk::EXPAND`, the lattice is allowed to grow to fill space. With `Gtk::SHRINK`, the lattice is allowed to shrink when resized. It is also possible to specify the behaviour of the widgets allocation within the table. The flag `Gtk::FILL` declares the widget should grow to fill lattice. If this is not set any extra space is used as padding. The default is `(Gtk::FILL | Gtk::EXPAND)`.

Table sizing:
  The table size is calculated based on the size of the widgets contained within and the restrictions imposed by specified options. Padding and spacing can be used in the table. Padding is added on either side of a widget, while spacing is placed between widgets.

A Table widget looks like this:
