DocStr(wxSizer,
"wx.Sizer is the abstract base class used for laying out subwindows in
a window.  You cannot use wx.Sizer directly; instead, you will have to
use one of the sizer classes derived from it such as `wx.BoxSizer`,
`wx.StaticBoxSizer`, `wx.NotebookSizer`, `wx.GridSizer`,  `wx.FlexGridSizer`
and `wx.GridBagSizer`.

The concept implemented by sizers in wxWidgets is closely related to
layout tools 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 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 or contorls,
empty space or other sizers, so that a hierarchy of sizers can be
constructed. Note that wxSizer does not derive from wxWindow and thus
do 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 for example the
standard font as well as the overall design of Mac widgets requires
more space than on Windows, then the initial size of a dialog using a
sizer will automatically be bigger on Mac 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 `wx.SizerItem`. Just add empty space of the
desired size and attributes, and then use the `wx.SizerItem.GetRect`
method to determine where the drawing operations should take place.

:note: If you wish to create a custom sizer class in wxPython you
    should derive the class from `wx.PySizer` in order to get
    Python-aware capabilities for the various virtual methods.

:see: `wx.SizerItem`

        void _setOORInfo(PyObject* _self) {

    PyObject userData=None) -> wx.SizerItem",

                "Appends a child item to the sizer.", "

    :param item:  The item can be one of three kinds of objects:

        - **window**: A `wx.Window` to be managed by the sizer. Its
          minimal size (either set explicitly by the user or
          calculated internally when constructed with wx.DefaultSize)
          is interpreted as the minimal size to use when laying out
          item in the sizer.  This is particularly useful in
          connection with `wx.Window.SetSizeHints`.

        - **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).

        - **size**: A `wx.Size` or a 2-element sequence of integers
          that represents the width and height 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* value 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 wx.Sizer, it is used in `wx.BoxSizer` to indicate
        if a child of a sizer can change its size in the main
        orientation of the wx.BoxSizer - where 0 stands for not
        changeable and a value of more than zero is interpreted
        relative (a proportion of the total) to the value of other
        children of the same wx.BoxSizer. For example, you might have
        a horizontal wx.BoxSizer with three children, two of which are
        supposed to change their size with the sizer. Then the two
        stretchable windows should each be given *proportion* value of
        1 to make them grow and shrink equally with the sizer's
        horizontal dimension.  But if one of them had a *proportion*
        value of 2 then it would get a double share of the space
        available after the fixed size items are positioned.

    :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.

When `Layout` is called it first calls `CalcMin` followed by
`RecalcSizes` so you can optimize a bit by saving the results of
`CalcMin` and reusing them in `RecalcSizes`.

"The basic idea behind a box sizer is that windows will most often be
laid out in rather simple basic geometry, typically in a row or a
column or nested hierarchies of either.  A wx.BoxSizer will lay out
its items in a simple row or column, depending on the orientation
parameter passed to the constructor.", "

It is the unique feature of a box sizer, that it can grow in both
directions (height and width) but can distribute its growth in the
main direction (horizontal for a row) *unevenly* among its children.
This is determined by the proportion parameter give to items when they
are added to the sizer. It is interpreted as a weight factor, i.e. it
can be zero, indicating that the window may not be resized at all, or
above zero. If several windows have a value above zero, the value is
interpreted relative to the sum of all weight factors of the sizer, so
when adding two windows with a value of 1, they will both get resized
equally and each will receive half of the available space after the
fixed size items have been sized.  If the items have unequal
proportion settings then they will receive a coresondingly unequal
allotment of the free space.
