Description

GtkIconView provides an alternative view on a list model. It displays the model as a grid of icons with labels. Like GtkTreeView, it allows to select one or multiple items (depending on the selection mode, see gtk_icon_view_set_selection_mode()). In addition to selection with the arrow keys, GtkIconView supports rubberband selection, which is controlled by dragging the pointer.
