# Clutter::ChildMeta(3pm)

Wrapper for actors inside a container

## NAME

Clutter::ChildMeta - Wrapper for actors inside a container

## DESCRIPTION

**Clutter::ChildMeta** is a wrapper object created by Clutter::Container implementations in order to store child-specific data and properties.

A Clutter::ChildMeta wraps a Clutter::Actor inside a Clutter::Container and it is used to store child properties that can later be accessed using *Clutter::Container::child\_set()* and *Clutter::Container::child\_get()*.

See the Clutter::Container documentation on how to create ChildMeta objects when implementing a Container actor.
