121 *@ATK_ROLE_CHART: The object is a graphical depiction of quantitative data.

127 *@ATK_ROLE_REDUNDANT_OBJECT: The object is redundant with another object in the hierarchy, and is exposed for purely technical reasons. Objects of this role should normally be ignored by clients. @Since: ATK-1.11

131 * always have ATK_ROLE_FORM. @Since: ATK-1.12.0
132 *@ATK_ROLE_LINK: The object is a hypertext anchor, i.e. a "link" in a
133 * hypertext document. Such objects are distinct from 'inline'

136 * an inline or embedded object lies. @Since: ATK-1.12.1
137 *@ATK_ROLE_INPUT_METHOD_WINDOW: The object is a window or similar viewport

167 * Technologies to provide quick navigation among key regions within a
168 * document. @Since: ATK-2.12
169 *@ATK_ROLE_LOG: A text widget or container holding log content, such
170 * as chat history and error logs. In this role there is a
171 * relationship between the arrival of new items in the log and the
172 * reading order. The log contains a meaningful sequence and new
173 * information is added only to the end of the log, not at arbitrary
174 * points. @Since: ATK-2.12
175 *@ATK_ROLE_MARQUEE: A container where non-essential information
176 * changes frequently. Common usages of marquee include stock tickers

179 * important content changes. @Since: ATK-2.12
180 *@ATK_ROLE_MATH: A text widget or container that holds a mathematical
181 * expression. @Since: ATK-2.12
182 *@ATK_ROLE_RATING: A widget whose purpose is to display a rating,
183 * such as the number of stars associated with a song in a media
184 * player. Objects of this role should also implement
185 * AtkValue. @Since: ATK-2.12
186 *@ATK_ROLE_TIMER: An object containing a numerical counter which
187 * indicates an amount of elapsed time from a start point, or the time
188 * remaining until an end point. @Since: ATK-2.12
189 *@ATK_ROLE_DESCRIPTION_LIST: An object that represents a list of
190 * term-value groups. A term-value group represents a individual
191 * description and consist of one or more names
192 * (ATK_ROLE_DESCRIPTION_TERM) followed by one or more values
193 * (ATK_ROLE_DESCRIPTION_VALUE). For each list, there should not be
194 * more than one group with the same term name. @Since: ATK-2.12
195 *@ATK_ROLE_DESCRIPTION_TERM: An object that represents the term, or
196 * name, part of a term-description group in a description
197 * list. @Since: ATK-2.12
198 *@ATK_ROLE_DESCRIPTION_VALUE: An object that represents the
199 * description, definition or value of a term-description group in a
200 * description list. The values within a group are alternatives,
201 * meaning that you can have several ATK_ROLE_DESCRIPTION_VALUE for a
202 * given ATK_ROLE_DESCRIPTION_TERM. @Since: ATK-2.12
203 *@ATK_ROLE_STATIC: A generic non-container object whose purpose is to display a
204 * brief amount of information to the user and whose role is known by the
205 * implementor but lacks semantic value for the user. Examples in which
206 * ATK_ROLE_STATIC is appropriate include the message displayed in a message box
207 * and an image used as an alternative means to display text. ATK_ROLE_STATIC
208 * should not be applied to widgets which are traditionally interactive, objects
209 * which display a significant amount of content, or any object which has an
210 * accessible relation pointing to another object. Implementors should expose the
211 * displayed information through the accessible name of the object. If doing so seems
212 * inappropriate, it may indicate that a different role should be used. For
213 * labels which describe another widget, see ATK_ROLE_LABEL. For text views, see
214 * ATK_ROLE_TEXT. For generic containers, see ATK_ROLE_PANEL. For objects whose
215 * role is not known by the implementor, see ATK_ROLE_UNKNOWN. @Since: ATK-2.16.
216 *@ATK_ROLE_MATH_FRACTION: An object that represents a mathematical fraction.
217 * @Since: ATK-2.16.
218 *@ATK_ROLE_MATH_ROOT: An object that represents a mathematical expression
219 * displayed with a radical. @Since: ATK-2.16.
220 *@ATK_ROLE_SUBSCRIPT: An object that contains text that is displayed as a
221 * subscript. @Since: ATK-2.16.
222 *@ATK_ROLE_SUPERSCRIPT: An object that contains text that is displayed as a
223 * superscript. @Since: ATK-2.16.
224 *@ATK_ROLE_LAST_DEFINED: not a valid role, used for finding end of the enumeration
226 * Describes the role of an object
228 * These are the built-in enumerated roles that UI components can have in
229 * ATK. Other roles may be added at runtime, so an AtkRole >=
230 * ATK_ROLE_LAST_DEFINED is not necessarily an error.
