Swallow example

This is a simple example in which we create a rect and swallow it.

Focusing on the relevant parts of the code we go right to the creation of our rectangle. It should be noted that we don't resize or show our rect, that is because when an object is swallowed it's geometry and visibility is controlled by the theme:

evas_object_color_set(rect, 255, 0, 0, 255);
edje_object_part_swallow(edje_obj, "part_one", rect);

The other bit of code that is relevant to us now is our check that the swallow worked:

obj = edje_object_part_swallow_get(edje_obj, "part_one");
if(obj == rect)
printf("Swallowing worked!\n");
