<title>Description</title>
  <para>
    The <structname>GnomeIconTextItem</structname> canvas item
    provides a specialized, editable text item to be used for the text
    captions of icons.  This item is used by the
    <structname>GnomeIconList</structname> widget and by the GNOME
    file manager.

  <para>
    All the fields in the <structname>GnomeIconTextItem</structname>
    structure should be considered private.  When the application
    needs to know the size and bounds of an icon text item, it should
    use the <function><link linkend="gnome-canvas-item-get-bounds">gnome_canvas_item_get_bounds</link>()</function>
    function.

<para>
This routine is used to configure a &amp;GnomeIconTextItem.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>x</parameter> and <parameter>y</parameter> specify the cordinates where the item is placed inside the canvas.
The <parameter>x</parameter> coordinate should be the leftmost position that the icon text item can
assume at any one time, that is, the left margin of the column in which the
icon is to be placed.  The <parameter>y</parameter> coordinate specifies the top of the icon text
item.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>width</parameter> is the maximum width allowed for this icon text item.  The coordinates
define the upper-left corner of an icon text item with maximum width; this may
actually be outside the bounding box of the item if the text is narrower than
the maximum width.
</para>
<para>
If <parameter>is_static</parameter> is true, it means that there is no need for the item to
allocate memory for the string (it is a guarantee that the text is allocated
by the caller and it will not be deallocated during the lifetime of this
item).  This is an optimization to reduce memory usage for large icon sets.</para>
