7 * A Hover object will hover over its @p parent object at the @p target
8 * location. Anything in the background will be given a darker coloring to
9 * indicate that the hover object is on top (at the default theme). When the
10 * hover is clicked it is dismissed(hidden), if the contents of the hover are
11 * clicked that @b doesn't cause the hover to be dismissed.
13 * A Hover object has two parents. One parent that owns it during creation
14 * and the other parent being the one over which the hover object spans.
17 * @note The hover object will take up the entire space of @p target
20 * Elementary has the following styles for the hover widget:
24 * @li hoversel_vertical
26 * The following are the available position for content:
38 * Signals that you can add callbacks for are:
39 * @li "clicked" - the user clicked the empty space in the hover to dismiss
40 * @li "smart,changed" - a content object placed under the "smart"
41 * policy was replaced to a new slot direction.
43 * Default content parts of the hover widget that you can use for are:
55 * @note These content parts indicates the direction that the content will be
58 * All directions may have contents at the same time, except for
59 * "smart". This is a special placement hint and its use case
60 * depends of the calculations coming from
61 * elm_hover_best_content_location_get(). Its use is for cases when
62 * one desires only one hover content, but with a dynamic special
63 * placement within the hover area. The content's geometry, whenever
64 * it changes, will be used to decide on a best location, not
65 * extrapolating the hover's parent object view to show it in (still
66 * being the hover's target determinant of its medium part -- move and
67 * resize it to simulate finger sizes, for example). If one of the
68 * directions other than "smart" are used, a previously content set
69 * using it will be deleted, and vice-versa.
