"Objects of this class are stored in the `wx.LayoutConstraints` class as
one of eight possible constraints that a window can be involved in.
You will never need to create an instance of
wx.IndividualLayoutConstraint, rather you should create a
`wx.LayoutConstraints` instance and use the individual contstraints
that it contains.", "

Constraints are initially set to have the relationship
wx.Unconstrained, which means that their values should be calculated
by looking at known constraints.

The Edge specifies the type of edge or dimension of a window.

Edges
------
    ==================  ==============================================
    wx.Left             The left edge.
    wx.Top              The top edge.
    wx.Right            The right edge.
    wx.Bottom           The bottom edge.
    wx.CentreX          The x-coordinate of the centre of the window.
    wx.CentreY          The y-coordinate of the centre of the window. 
    ==================  ==============================================


The Relationship specifies the relationship that this edge or
dimension has with another specified edge or dimension. Normally, the
user doesn't use these directly because functions such as Below and
RightOf are a convenience for using the more general Set function.

Relationships
-------------
    ==================  ==============================================
    wx.Unconstrained    The edge or dimension is unconstrained
                        (the default for edges.)
    wx.AsIs             The edge or dimension is to be taken from the current
                        window position or size (the default for dimensions.)
    wx.Above            The edge should be above another edge.
    wx.Below            The edge should be below another edge.
    wx.LeftOf           The edge should be to the left of another edge.
    wx.RightOf          The edge should be to the right of another edge.
    wx.SameAs           The edge or dimension should be the same as another edge
                        or dimension.
    wx.PercentOf        The edge or dimension should be a percentage of another
                        edge or dimension.
    wx.Absolute         The edge or dimension should be a given absolute value.
    ==================  ==============================================

DocStr(wxLayoutConstraints,
"**Note:** constraints are now deprecated and you should use sizers
instead.

Objects of this class can be associated with a window to define its
layout constraints, with respect to siblings or its parent.

The class consists of the following eight constraints of class
wx.IndividualLayoutConstraint, some or all of which should be accessed
directly to set the appropriate constraints.

    * left: represents the left hand edge of the window
    * right: represents the right hand edge of the window
    * top: represents the top edge of the window
    * bottom: represents the bottom edge of the window
    * width: represents the width of the window
    * height: represents the height of the window
    * centreX: represents the horizontal centre point of the window
    * centreY: represents the vertical centre point of the window 

Most constraints are initially set to have the relationship
wxUnconstrained, which means that their values should be calculated by
looking at known constraints. The exceptions are width and height,
which are set to wxAsIs to ensure that if the user does not specify a
constraint, the existing width and height will be used, to be
compatible with panel items which often have take a default size. If
the constraint is ``wx.AsIs``, the dimension will not be changed.
