    @class wxStaticLine

    A static line is just a line which may be used in a dialog to separate the
    groups of controls.

    The line may be only vertical or horizontal. Moreover, not all ports
    (notably not wxGTK) support specifying the transversal direction of the
    line (e.g. height for a horizontal line) so for maximial portability you
    should specify it as wxDefaultCoord.

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxLI_HORIZONTAL}
           Creates a horizontal line.
    @style{wxLI_VERTICAL}
           Creates a vertical line.
    @endStyleTable

            Window identifier. The value wxID_ANY indicates a default value.

            Window position.
            If wxDefaultPosition is specified then a default position is chosen.

            Size. Note that either the height or the width (depending on
            whether the line if horizontal or vertical) is ignored.

            Window style (either wxLI_HORIZONTAL or wxLI_VERTICAL).
