    @ref overview_wxsplitterwindowoverview "wxSplitterWindow overview"

    This class manages up to two subwindows. The current view can be
    split into two programmatically (perhaps from a menu command), and unsplit
    either programmatically or via the wxSplitterWindow user interface.

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxSP_3D}:
           Draws a 3D effect border and sash.
    @style{wxSP_3DSASH}:
           Draws a 3D effect sash.
    @style{wxSP_3DBORDER}:
           Synonym for wxSP_BORDER.
    @style{wxSP_BORDER}:
           Draws a standard border.
    @style{wxSP_NOBORDER}:
           No border (default).
    @style{wxSP_NO_XP_THEME}:
           Under Windows XP, switches off the attempt to draw the splitter
           using Windows XP theming, so the borders and sash will take on the
           pre-XP look.
    @style{wxSP_PERMIT_UNSPLIT}:
           Always allow to unsplit, even with the minimum pane size other than
           zero.
    @style{wxSP_LIVE_UPDATE}:
           Don't draw XOR line but resize the child windows immediately.
