GtkSpinButton

<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->
Retrieve an integer or floating-point number from the user

<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
A #GtkSpinButton is an ideal way to allow the user to set the value of some 
attribute. Rather than having to directly type a number into a #GtkEntry, 
#GtkSpinButton allows the user to click on one of two arrows to increment or 
decrement the displayed value. A value can still be typed in, with the bonus 
that it can be checked to ensure it is in a given range.
</para>
<para>
The main properties of a #GtkSpinButton are through a #GtkAdjustment. See the 
#GtkAdjustment section for more details about an adjustment's properties.
