352. How to set the size of individual columns in GtkTreeView - Part 2?

Problem

Suppose you would like to specify the exact width of each column.

In Part 1, we set the size of each column by setting the property 'size' of the cellrenderer.

In this Part 2 we set the size of each column by using the method GtkCellRenderer::set_fixed_size() as shown below:
