    <title>Useful methods for a SpinButton widget</title>
    <p>A Gtk.Adjustment is needed to construct the Gtk.SpinButton. This is the representation of a value with a lower and upper bound, together with step and page increments, and a page size, and it is constructed as <code>Gtk.Adjustment(value, lower, upper, step_increment, page_increment, page_size)</code> where the fields are of type <code>float</code>; <code>step_increment</code> is the increment/decrement that is obtained by using the cursor keys or the buttons of the spinbutton. Note that <code>page_increment</code> and <code>page_size</code> are not used in this case, and they should be set to <code>0</code>.</p>
    <p>In line 23 the signal <code>"value-changed"</code> is connected to the callback function <code>spin_selected()</code> using <code><var>widget</var>.connect(<var>signal</var>, <var>callback function</var>)</code>. See <link xref="signals-callbacks.py"/> for a more detailed explanation.</p>
    <list>
      <item><p>If you want the value of the spinbutton to wrap around when they exceed the maximum or the minimum, set <code>set_wrap(True)</code>. The <code>"wrapped"</code> signal is emitted when this happens.</p></item>
      <item><p><code>set_digits(digits)</code> sets the precision to be displayed by the spinbutton, up to 20 digits.</p></item>
      <item><p>To get the value of the spinbutton as an integer, use <code>get_value_as_int()</code>.</p></item>
