`overlay` : | An pointer to an AwnOverlay (or subclass) object.
`cr` : | Pointer to Cairo context ( cairo_t) for the surface being overlaid. Poi
`icon_width` : | The width of the AwnIcon as gint.

`overlay_width` : | The width of the AwnOverlay as gint.
`overlay_height` : | The height of the AwnOverlay as gint.
`coord_req` : | Address of a AwnOverlayCoord structure or NULL. The x,y coords will be returned in the structure if one is provided so they can be used a later time if needed.

## Property Details

### The `"active"` property

      "active"                   gboolean              : Read / Write / Construct

The active property controls if the render virtual method of AwnOverlayClass is invoked when `awn_overlay_render_overlay()` . If set to FALSE the overlay is not rendered. Subclass implementors should monitor this_effect property for changes if it is appropriate to disengage timers etc when set to FALSE.

Default value: TRUE

### The `"align"` property

      "align"                    gint                  : Read / Write / Construct

An AwnOverlayAlign property that controls horizontal alignment of the overlay relative to it's position as specified by the gravity property. Often used with AwnOverlayText overlays. Setting to AWN_OVERLAY_ALIGN_RIGHT or AWN_OVERLAY_ALIGN_LEFT will allow for a fixed right or left position for the overlay.

Allowed values: [0,2]

Default value: 0

### The `"apply-effects"` property

      "apply-effects"            gboolean              : Read / Write

The apply-effects property controls AwnEffects effects are applied to the overlay.

Default value: TRUE

### The `"gravity"` property

      "gravity"                  GdkGravity            : Read / Write / Construct

A property that controls placement of the overlay of type GdkGravity. GDK_GRAVITY_STATIC is NOT a valid value.

Default value: GDK_GRAVITY_CENTER

### The `"use-source-op"` property

      "use-source-op"            gboolean              : Read / Write

The use-source-op property controls if this overlay replaces graphics already painted beneath the overlay. (support for this has to be implemented by the subclasses)

Default value: FALSE

### The `"x-adj"` property

      "x-adj"                    gdouble               : Read / Write / Construct

An property of type gdouble that allows the adjustment of the horizontal position of the AwnOverlay. Range of -1.0...1.0. The amount of adjustment is this x-adj * width of the AwnIcon. A value of 0.0 indicates that gravity and align will solely determine the x position.

Allowed values: [-1,1]

Default value: 0

### The `"x-override"` property

      "x-override"               gdouble               : Read / Write / Construct

Overrides the x coordinates. In most cases if you're using this then you are probably doing something wrong.

Allowed values: [-10000,1000]

Default value: -10000

### The `"y-adj"` property

      "y-adj"                    gdouble               : Read / Write / Construct

An property of type gdouble that allows the adjustment of the vertical position of the AwnOverlay. Range of -1.0...1.0. The amount of adjustment is this y-adj * height of the AwnIcon. A value of 0.0 indicates that gravity and align will solely determine the y position.

Allowed values: [-1,1]

Default value: 0

### The `"y-override"` property

      "y-override"               gdouble               : Read / Write / Construct

Overrides the y coordinates. In most cases if you're using this then you are probably doing something wrong.

Allowed values: [-10000,1000]

Default value: -10000
