+The basic idea behind a box sizer is that windows will most often be laid out in rather
simple basic geomerty, typically in a row or a column or several hierachies of either.
As an exmaple, we will construct a dialog that will contain a text field at the top and
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) {\it unevenly}
among its children. In our example case, the vertical sizer is supposed to propagate all its

+height changes to only the text area, not to the button area. This is determined by the {\it option} parameter
+when adding a window (or another sizer) to a 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 much and each half as much as the sizer
+a value of 1, they will both get resized equally much and each half as much as the sizer
owning them. Then what do we do when a column sizer changes its width? This behaviour is
-controlled by {\it flags} (the second parameter of the Add() function): Zero or no flag indicates that
-the window will get aligned at the left (in a column sizer) and the top (row sizer), whereas
-wxALIGN\_RIGHT and wxALIGN\_BOTTOM will do what they say. The item can also be centered
-using the wxCENTRE flag (same as wxCENTER) or it can be forced to grow with the sizer (using
-the wxGROW flag (same as wxEXPAND)).
+controlled by {\it flags} (the second parameter of the Add() function): Zero or no flag
+indicates that the window will preserve it's original size, wxGROW flag (same as wxEXPAND)
+forces the window to grow with the sizer, and wxSHAPED flag tells the window to change it's
+size proportionally, preserving original aspect ratio. When wxGROW flag is not used,
+the item can be aligned within available space. wxALIGN\_LEFT, wxALIGN\_TOP, wxALIGN\_RIGHT,
+wxALIGN\_BOTTOM, wxALIGN\_CENTER\_HORIZONTAL and wxALIGN\_CENTER\_VERTICAL do what they say.
+wxALIGN\_CENTRE (same as wxALIGN\_CENTER) is defined as (wxALIGN\_CENTER\_HORIZONTAL |
+wxALIGN\_CENTER\_VERTICAL). Default alignment is wxALIGN\_LEFT | wxALIGN\_TOP.
As mentioned above, any window belonging to a sizer may have border, and it can be specified
which of the four sides may have this border, using the wxTOP, wxLEFT, wxRIGHT and wxBOTTOM
wxDialog( parent, id, title, wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize, wxDIALOG_STYLE | wxRESIZE_BORDER )
