    @class wxStdDialogButtonSizer
    @wxheader{sizer.h}

    This class creates button layouts which conform to the standard button spacing
    and ordering defined by the platform
    or toolkit's user interface guidelines (if such things exist). By using this
    class, you can ensure that all your
    standard dialogs look correct on all major platforms. Currently it conforms to
    the Windows, GTK+ and Mac OS X
    human interface guidelines.

    When there aren't interface guidelines defined for a particular platform or
    toolkit, wxStdDialogButtonSizer reverts
    to the Windows implementation.

    To use this class, first add buttons to the sizer by calling AddButton (or
    SetAffirmativeButton, SetNegativeButton,
    or SetCancelButton) and then call Realize in order to create the actual button
    layout used. Other than these special
    operations, this sizer works like any other sizer.

    If you add a button with wxID_SAVE, on Mac OS X the button will be renamed to
    "Save" and
    the wxID_NO button will be renamed to "Don't Save" in accordance with the Mac
    OS X Human Interface Guidelines.

/**
    @class wxSizerFlags
    @wxheader{sizer.h}

    Normally, when you add an item to a sizer via
    wxSizer::Add, you have to specify a lot of flags and
    parameters which can be unwieldy. This is where wxSizerFlags comes in: it
    allows you to specify all parameters using the named methods instead. For
    example, instead of

    @code
    sizer-Add(ctrl, 0, wxEXPAND | wxALL, 10);
    @endcode

    you can now write

    @code
    sizer-Add(ctrl, wxSizerFlags().Expand().Border(10));
    @endcode

    This is more readable and also allows you to create wxSizerFlags objects which
    can be reused for several sizer items.

    @code
    wxSizerFlags flagsExpand(1);
        flagsExpand.Expand().Border(10);

        sizer-Add(ctrl1, flagsExpand);
        sizer-Add(ctrl2, flagsExpand);
    @endcode

    Note that by specification, all methods of wxSizerFlags return the wxSizerFlags
    object itself to allowing chaining multiple methods calls like in the examples
    above.

/**
    @class wxSizer
    @wxheader{sizer.h}

    wxSizer is the abstract base class used for laying out subwindows in a window.
    You
    cannot use wxSizer directly; instead, you will have to use one of the sizer
    classes derived from it. Currently there are wxBoxSizer,
    wxStaticBoxSizer,
    wxGridSizer,
    wxFlexGridSizer,
    wxWrapSizer
     and wxGridBagSizer.

    The layout algorithm used by sizers in wxWidgets is closely related to layout
    in other GUI toolkits, such as Java's AWT, the GTK toolkit or the Qt toolkit.
    It is
    based upon the idea of the individual subwindows reporting their minimal
    required
    size and their ability to get stretched if the size of the parent window has
    changed.
    This will most often mean that the programmer does not set the original size of
    a dialog in the beginning, rather the dialog will be assigned a sizer and this
    sizer
    will be queried about the recommended size. The sizer in turn will query its
    children, which can be normal windows, empty space or other sizers, so that
    a hierarchy of sizers can be constructed. Note that wxSizer does not derive
    from wxWindow
    and thus does not interfere with tab ordering and requires very little
    resources compared
    to a real window on screen.

    What makes sizers so well fitted for use in wxWidgets is the fact that every
    control
    reports its own minimal size and the algorithm can handle differences in font
    sizes
    or different window (dialog item) sizes on different platforms without
    problems. If e.g.
    the standard font as well as the overall design of Motif widgets requires more
    space than
    on Windows, the initial dialog size will automatically be bigger on Motif than
    on Windows.

    Sizers may also be used to control the layout of custom drawn items on the
    window.  The
    Add, Insert, and Prepend functions return a pointer to the newly added
    wxSizerItem. Just
    add empty space of the desired size and attributes, and then use the
    wxSizerItem::GetRect
    method to determine where the drawing operations should take place.

    Please notice that sizers, like child windows, are owned by the library and
    will be deleted by it which implies that they must be allocated on the heap.
    However if you create a sizer and do not add it to another sizer or window, the
    library wouldn't be able to delete such an orphan sizer and in this, and only
    this, case it should be deleted explicitly.

    @b wxPython note: If you wish to create a sizer class in wxPython you should
    derive the class from @c wxPySizer in order to get Python-aware
    capabilities for the various virtual methods.

        parameters are
        equivalent in the derived classes that you will instantiate to use it so they
        are described
        here:

        @param window
            The window to be added to the sizer. Its initial size (either set
        explicitly by the
            user or calculated internally when using wxDefaultSize) is interpreted as
        the minimal and in many
            cases also the initial size.
        @param sizer
            The (child-)sizer to be added to the sizer. This allows placing a child
        sizer in a
            sizer and thus to create hierarchies of sizers (typically a vertical box as
        the top sizer and several
            horizontal boxes on the level beneath).
        @param width and height
            The dimension of a spacer to be added to the sizer. Adding spacers to sizers
            gives more flexibility in the design of dialogs; imagine for example a
        horizontal box with two buttons at the
            bottom of a dialog: you might want to insert a space between the two
        buttons and make that space stretchable
            using the proportion flag and the result will be that the left button will
        be aligned with the left
            side of the dialog and the right button with the right side - the space in
        between will shrink and grow with
            the dialog.
        @param proportion
            Although the meaning of this parameter is undefined in wxSizer, it is used
        in wxBoxSizer
            to indicate if a child of a sizer can change its size in the main
        orientation of the wxBoxSizer - where
            0 stands for not changeable and a value of more than zero is interpreted
        relative to the value of other
            children of the same wxBoxSizer. For example, you might have a horizontal
        wxBoxSizer with three children, two
            of which are supposed to change their size with the sizer. Then the two
        stretchable windows would get a
            value of 1 each to make them grow and shrink equally with the sizer's
        horizontal dimension.
        @param flag
            This parameter can be used to set a number of flags
            which can be combined using the binary OR operator |. Two main
            behaviours are defined using these flags. One is the border around a
            window: the border parameter determines the border width whereas
            the flags given here determine which side(s) of the item that the
            border will be added.  The other flags determine how the sizer item
            behaves when the space allotted to the sizer changes, and is somewhat
            dependent on the specific kind of sizer used.






            wxTOP

            wxBOTTOM

            wxLEFT

            wxRIGHT

            wxALL




            These flags are used to specify which side(s) of
              the sizer item the border width will apply to.





            wxEXPAND




            The item will be expanded to fill
            the space assigned to the item.





            wxSHAPED




            The item will be expanded as much
            as possible while also maintaining its aspect ratio





            wxFIXED_MINSIZE




            Normally wxSizers will use
            GetAdjustedBestSize to
            determine what the minimal size of window items should be, and will
            use that size to calculate the layout. This allows layouts to
            adjust when an item changes and its best size becomes
            different. If you would rather have a window item stay the size it
            started with then use wxFIXED_MINSIZE.





            wxALIGN_CENTER wxALIGN_CENTRE

            wxALIGN_LEFT

            wxALIGN_RIGHT

            wxALIGN_TOP

            wxALIGN_BOTTOM

            wxALIGN_CENTER_VERTICAL wxALIGN_CENTRE_VERTICAL

            wxALIGN_CENTER_HORIZONTAL wxALIGN_CENTRE_HORIZONTAL




            The wxALIGN flags allow you to
            specify the alignment of the item within the space allotted to it by
            the sizer, adjusted for the border if any.
        @param border
            Determines the border width, if the flag
              parameter is set to include any border flag.
        @param userData
            Allows an extra object to be attached to the sizer
            item, for use in derived classes when sizing information is more
            complex than the proportion and flag will allow for.
        @param flags
            A wxSizerFlags object that
            enables you to specify most of the above parameters more conveniently.
