<summary>Group widgets so they request the same size.</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
A SizeGroup provides a mechanism for grouping a number of widgets together so they all request the same amount of space. This is typically useful when you want a column of widgets to have the same size, but you can't use a <see cref="T:Gtk.Table" /> widget. Its use is effectively demonstrated by the Human Interface Guidelines of the Gnome project.
</para>
<para>
In detail, the size requested for each widget in a SizeGroup is the maximum of the sizes that would have been requested for each widget in the SizeGroup without a SizeGroup. The <see cref="P:Gtk.SizeGroup.Mode" /> of the size group determines whether this applies to the horizontal size, the vertical size, or both sizes.
</para>
<para>
Note that SizeGroups only affect the amount of space requested, not the size that the widgets finally receive. If you want the widgets in a SizeGroup to actually be the same size, you need to pack them in such a way that they get the size they request and not more. For example, if you are packing your widgets into a table, you would not include the Fill flag.
</para>
<para>
SizeGroup objects are referenced by each widget in the size group, so once you have added all widgets to a SizeGroup, you can drop the initial reference to the SizeGroup by calling <see cref="M:GLib.Object.Unref" />. If the widgets in the SizeGroup are subsequently destroyed, then they will be removed from the SizeGroup and drop their references on the SizeGroup; when all widgets have been removed, the size group will be freed.
</para>
<para>
Widgets can be part of multiple size groups; GTK will compute the horizontal size of a widget from the horizontal requisition of all widgets that can be reached from the widget by a chain of size groups of type <see cref="P:Gtk.SizeGroupMode.Horizontal" /> or <see cref="P:Gtk.SizeGroupMode.Both" />. Likewise, the vertical size is computed from the vertical requisition of all widgets that can be reached from the widget by a chain of size groups of type <see cref="P:Gtk.SizeGroupMode.Vertical" /> or <see cref="P:Gtk.SizeGroupMode.Both" />.
