  11     @class wxSizer
  12
  13     wxSizer is the abstract base class used for laying out subwindows in a window.
  14     You cannot use wxSizer directly; instead, you will have to use one of the sizer
  15     classes derived from it. Currently there are wxBoxSizer, wxStaticBoxSizer,
  16     wxGridSizer, wxFlexGridSizer, wxWrapSizer and wxGridBagSizer.
  17
  18     The layout algorithm used by sizers in wxWidgets is closely related to layout
  19     in other GUI toolkits, such as Java's AWT, the GTK toolkit or the Qt toolkit.
  20     It is based upon the idea of the individual subwindows reporting their minimal
  21     required size and their ability to get stretched if the size of the parent window
  22     has changed.
  23
  24     This will most often mean that the programmer does not set the original size of
  25     a dialog in the beginning, rather the dialog will be assigned a sizer and this
  26     sizer will be queried about the recommended size. The sizer in turn will query
  27     its children, which can be normal windows, empty space or other sizers, so that
  28     a hierarchy of sizers can be constructed. Note that wxSizer does not derive
  29     from wxWindow and thus does not interfere with tab ordering and requires very little
  30     resources compared to a real window on screen.
  31
  32     What makes sizers so well fitted for use in wxWidgets is the fact that every
  33     control reports its own minimal size and the algorithm can handle differences in
  34     font sizes or different window (dialog item) sizes on different platforms without
  35     problems. If e.g. the standard font as well as the overall design of Motif widgets
  36     requires more space than on Windows, the initial dialog size will automatically
  37     be bigger on Motif than on Windows.
  38
  39     Sizers may also be used to control the layout of custom drawn items on the
  40     window. The wxSizer::Add(), wxSizer::Insert(), and wxSizer::Prepend() functions
  41     return a pointer to the newly added wxSizerItem.
  42     Just add empty space of the desired size and attributes, and then use the
  43     wxSizerItem::GetRect() method to determine where the drawing operations
  44     should take place.
  45
  46     Please notice that sizers, like child windows, are owned by the library and
  47     will be deleted by it which implies that they must be allocated on the heap.
  48     However if you create a sizer and do not add it to another sizer or
  49     window, the library wouldn't be able to delete such an orphan sizer and in
  50     this, and only this, case it should be deleted explicitly.
  51
  52     @beginWxPythonOnly
  53     If you wish to create a sizer class in wxPython you should
  54     derive the class from @c wxPySizer in order to get Python-aware
  55     capabilities for the various virtual methods.
  56     @endWxPythonOnly
  57
  58     @section wxsizer_flags wxSizer flags
  59
  60     The "flag" argument accepted by wxSizeItem constructors and other
  61     functions, e.g. wxSizer::Add(), is OR-combination of the following flags.
  62     Two main behaviours are defined using these flags. One is the border around
  63     a window: the border parameter determines the border width whereas the
  64     flags given here determine which side(s) of the item that the border will
  65     be added.  The other flags determine how the sizer item behaves when the
  66     space allotted to the sizer changes, and is somewhat dependent on the
  67     specific kind of sizer used.
  68
  69     @beginDefList
  70     @itemdef{wxTOP<br>
  71              wxBOTTOM<br>

  73              wxRIGHT<br>
  74              wxALL,
  75              These flags are used to specify which side(s) of the sizer item
  76              the border width will apply to.}
  77     @itemdef{wxEXPAND,
  78              The item will be expanded to fill the space assigned to the item.}
  79     @itemdef{wxSHAPED,
  80              The item will be expanded as much as possible while also
  81              maintaining its aspect ratio.}
  82     @itemdef{wxFIXED_MINSIZE,
  83              Normally wxSizers will use GetAdjustedBestSize() to determine what
  84              the minimal size of window items should be, and will use that size
  85              to calculate the layout. This allows layouts to adjust when an
  86              item changes and its best size becomes different. If you would
  87              rather have a window item stay the size it started with then use
  88              @c wxFIXED_MINSIZE.}
  89     @itemdef{wxRESERVE_SPACE_EVEN_IF_HIDDEN,
  90              Normally wxSizers don't allocate space for hidden windows or other
  91              items. This flag overrides this behavior so that sufficient space
  92              is allocated for the window even if it isn't visible. This makes
  93              it possible to dynamically show and hide controls without resizing
  94              parent dialog, for example. (Available since 2.8.8.)}

 103              wxALIGN_CENTER_HORIZONTAL<br>
 104              wxALIGN_CENTRE_HORIZONTAL,
 105              The @c wxALIGN_* flags allow you to specify the alignment of the item
 106              within the space allotted to it by the sizer, adjusted for the
 107              border if any.}

 893     This class creates button layouts which conform to the standard button spacing
 894     and ordering defined by the platform or toolkit's user interface guidelines
 895     (if such things exist). By using this class, you can ensure that all your
 896     standard dialogs look correct on all major platforms. Currently it conforms to
 897     the Windows, GTK+ and Mac OS X human interface guidelines.
 898
 899     When there aren't interface guidelines defined for a particular platform or
 900     toolkit, wxStdDialogButtonSizer reverts to the Windows implementation.
 901
 902     To use this class, first add buttons to the sizer by calling
 903     wxStdDialogButtonSizer::AddButton (or wxStdDialogButtonSizer::SetAffirmativeButton,
 904     wxStdDialogButtonSizer::SetNegativeButton or wxStdDialogButtonSizer::SetCancelButton)
 905     and then call Realize in order to create the actual button layout used.
 906     Other than these special operations, this sizer works like any other sizer.
 907
 908     If you add a button with wxID_SAVE, on Mac OS X the button will be renamed to
 909     "Save" and the wxID_NO button will be renamed to "Don't Save" in accordance
 910     with the Mac OS X Human Interface Guidelines.

1247
1248     Normally, when you add an item to a sizer via wxSizer::Add, you have to
1249     specify a lot of flags and parameters which can be unwieldy. This is where
1250     wxSizerFlags comes in: it allows you to specify all parameters using the
1251     named methods instead. For example, instead of
1252
1253     @code
1254     sizer->Add(ctrl, 0, wxEXPAND | wxALL, 10);
1255     @endcode
1256
1257     you can now write
1258
1259     @code
1260     sizer->Add(ctrl, wxSizerFlags().Expand().Border(wxALL, 10));
1261     @endcode
1262
1263     This is more readable and also allows you to create wxSizerFlags objects which
1264     can be reused for several sizer items.
1265
1266     @code
1267     wxSizerFlags flagsExpand(1);
1268         flagsExpand.Expand().Border(wxALL, 10);
1269
1270         sizer->Add(ctrl1, flagsExpand);
1271         sizer->Add(ctrl2, flagsExpand);
1272     @endcode
1273
1274     Note that by specification, all methods of wxSizerFlags return the wxSizerFlags
1275     object itself to allowing chaining multiple methods calls like in the examples

1439     A flex grid sizer is a sizer which lays out its children in a two-dimensional
1440     table with all table fields in one row having the same height and all fields
1441     in one column having the same width, but all rows or all columns are not
1442     necessarily the same height or width as in the wxGridSizer.
1443
1444     Since wxWidgets 2.5.0, wxFlexGridSizer can also size items equally in one
1445     direction but unequally ("flexibly") in the other. If the sizer is only
1446     flexible in one direction (this can be changed using wxFlexGridSizer::SetFlexibleDirection),
1447     it needs to be decided how the sizer should grow in the other ("non-flexible")
1448     direction in order to fill the available space.
1449     The wxFlexGridSizer::SetNonFlexibleGrowMode() method serves this purpose.
