  12     A wrap sizer lays out its items in a single line, like a box sizer -- as long
  13     as there is space available in that direction.
  14     Once all available space in the primary direction has been used, a new line
  15     is added and items are added there.
  16
  17     So a wrap sizer has a primary orientation for adding items, and adds lines
  18     as needed in the secondary direction.

  31         @a orient determines the primary direction of the sizer (the most common
  32         case being @c wxHORIZONTAL). The flags parameter can be a combination of
  33         the values @c wxEXTEND_LAST_ON_EACH_LINE which will cause the last item
  34         on each line to use any remaining space on that line and @c wxREMOVE_LEADING_SPACES
  35         which removes any spacer elements from the beginning of a row.
  36
  37         Both of these flags are on by default.
