84@section page_class_cat_winlayout Window Layout
85
86There are two different systems for laying out windows (and dialogs in
87particular). One is based upon so-called sizers and it requires less typing,
88thinking and calculating and will in almost all cases produce dialogs looking
89equally well on all platforms, the other is based on so-called constraints and
90is deprecated, though still available.

115manager (such as MS Windows, or the Motif Window Manager). Frames and dialogs
116are similar in wxWidgets, but only dialogs may be modal.
