    @class wxStdDialogButtonSizer

    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

    Container for sizer items flags providing readable names for them.

    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(wxALL, 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(wxALL, 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

    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.

    @anchor wxsizer_flags
    @par wxSizer flags
    The "flag" argument accepted by wxSizeItem constructors and other
    functions, e.g. wxSizer::Add(), is OR-combination of the following flags.
    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.

    @itemdef{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.}

             Normally wxSizers don't allocate space for hidden windows or other
             items. This flag overrides this behavior so that sufficient space
             is allocated for the window even if it isn't visible. This makes
             it possible to dynamically show and hide controls without resizing
             parent dialog, for example. (Available since 2.8.8.)
