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