-\docparam{flag}{This parameter can be used to set a number of flags which can

-using these flags. One is the border around a window: the {\it border}
-parameter determines the border width whereas the flags given here determine
-where the border may be (wxTOP, wxBOTTOM, wxLEFT, wxRIGHT or wxALL). The other
-flags determine the child window's behaviour if the size of the sizer changes.
-However this is not - in contrast to the {\it option} flag - in the main
-orientation, but in the respectively other orientation. So if you created a
-wxBoxSizer with the wxVERTICAL option, these flags will be relevant if the
-sizer changes its horizontal size. A child may get resized to completely fill
-out the new size (using either wxGROW or wxEXPAND), it may get proportionally
-resized (wxSHAPED), it may get centered (wxALIGN\_CENTER or wxALIGN\_CENTRE)
-or it may get aligned to either side (wxALIGN\_LEFT and wxALIGN\_TOP are set
-to 0 and thus represent the default, wxALIGN\_RIGHT and wxALIGN\_BOTTOM have
-their obvious meaning). With proportional resize, a child may also be centered
-in the main orientation using wxALIGN\_CENTER\_VERTICAL (same as
-wxALIGN\_CENTRE\_VERTICAL) and wxALIGN\_CENTER\_HORIZONTAL (same as
-wxALIGN\_CENTRE\_HORIZONTAL) flags. Finally, you can also specify
-wxADJUST\_MINSIZE flag to make the minimal size of the control dynamically adjust

 in the sizer's descendants. This function enables an application to set the size of an item
 after initial creation.

+
+Normally, when you add something to a sizer via \helpref{wxSizer::Add}{wxsizeradd}, you have to specify a lot of flags and parameters.  This can be unwieldy.
+
+This is where wxSizerFlags comes in.  Instead of a bunch of flags and other stuff, you can use wxSizerFlags, which is a convenient class for doing so.
+
+Note that by specification, all methods of wxSizerFlags return the wxSizerFlags object itself to ease the calling of multiple methods at a time.
