#### Description [src]

    final class GtkSource.HoverContext : GObject.Object
    {
      /* No available fields */
    }

Context for populating `GtkSourceHoverDisplay` contents.

`GtkSourceHoverContext` contains information about the request to populate contents for a `GtkSourceHoverDisplay`.

It can be used to retrieve the `GtkSourceView`, `GtkSourceBuffer`, and `GtkTextIter` for the regions of text which are being displayed.

Use `gtk_source_hover_context_get_bounds()` to get the word that was requested. `gtk_source_hover_context_get_iter()` will get you the location of the pointer when the request was made.
