Description:

[ CCode ( type_id = "gtk_spinner_get_type ()" ) ]
public sealed class Spinner : Widget, Accessible, Buildable, ConstraintTarget

A `GtkSpinner` widget displays an icon-size spinning animation.

It is often used as an alternative to a [class@Gtk.ProgressBar] for displaying indefinite activity, instead of actual progress.

To start the animation, use [method@Gtk.Spinner.start], to stop it use [method@Gtk.Spinner.stop].

CSS nodes

`GtkSpinner` has a single CSS node with the name spinner. When the animation is active, the GtkSpinner:checked pseudoclass is added to this node.
