Button widget constructor

gp_widget *gp_widget_button_new(const char *label,
                                enum gp_widget_button_type btype,
                                int (*on_event)(gp_widget_event *ev),
                                void *priv);

Creates a button widget, at least one of the label or btype has to be set.

If button type is set the button will be rendered with a small picture that describes the action, e.g. floppy for GP_BUTTON_SAVE. If label is also set the button will have both icon and label. The type picture will be positioned either on the left or on the right side of the label and the default position could be overriden by bit-or of GP_BUTTON_TEXT_LEFT or GP_BUTTON_TEXT_RIGHT with the button type.

Buttons with just a label are created with btype set to GP_BUTTON_LABEL which is equal to 0.
