### Method

# Gtk CellArea request_renderer

deprecated: 4.10

#### Declaration [src]

    void
    gtk_cell_area_request_renderer (

      GtkOrientation orientation,
      GtkWidget* widget,
      int for_size,
      int* minimum_size,
      int* natural_size
    )

#### Description [src]

This is a convenience function for `GtkCellArea` implementations to request size for cell renderers. It’s important to use this function to request size and then use `gtk_cell_area_inner_cell_area()` at render and event time since this function will add padding around the cell for focus painting.

Deprecated since: 4.10
