## Description

ClutterModelIter is an object used for iterating through all the rows of a ClutterModel. It allows setting and getting values on the row which is currently pointing at.

A ClutterModelIter represents a position between two elements of the sequence. For example, the iterator returned by `clutter_model_get_first_iter()` represents the gap immediately before the first row of the ClutterModel, and the iterator returned by `clutter_model_get_last_iter()` represents the gap immediately after the last row.

A ClutterModelIter can only be created by a ClutterModel implementation and it is valid as long as the model does not change.

ClutterModelIter is available since Clutter 0.6

### clutter_model_iter_copy ()

    ClutterModelIter *  clutter_model_iter_copy             (ClutterModelIter *iter);

Copies the passed iterator.

`iter` : | a ClutterModelIter
Returns : | a copy of the iterator, or `NULL`. [transfer full]

Since 0.8

### clutter_model_iter_get ()

    void                clutter_model_iter_get              (ClutterModelIter *iter,
                                                             ...);

Gets the value of one or more cells in the row referenced by `iter`. The variable argument list should contain integer column numbers, each column column number followed by a place to store the value being retrieved. The list is terminated by a -1.

For example, to get a value from column 0 with type `G_TYPE_STRING` use:

    1
    clutter_model_iter_get (iter, 0, &place_string_here, -1);

where place_string_here is a gchar* to be filled with the string. If appropriate, the returned values have to be freed or unreferenced.

`iter` : | a ClutterModelIter
`...` : | a list of column/return location pairs, terminated by -1

Since 0.6

### clutter_model_iter_get_valist ()

    void                clutter_model_iter_get_valist       (ClutterModelIter *iter,

See `clutter_model_iter_get()`. This version takes a va_list for language bindings.

`iter` : | a ClutterModelIter
`args` : | a list of column/return location pairs, terminated by -1

Since 0.6

### clutter_model_iter_get_value ()

Sets an initializes `value` to that at `column`. When done with `value`, `g_value_unset()` needs to be called to free any allocated memory.
