wxSizer is the abstract base class used for laying out subwindows in a window. You
-cannot use wxSizer directly; instead, you will have to use \helpref{wxBoxSizer}{wxboxsizer},
-\helpref{wxStaticBoxSizer}{wxstaticboxsizer} or \helpref{wxNotebookSizer}{wxnotebooksizer}.

The layout algorithm used by sizers in wxWindows is closely related to layout
in other GUI toolkits, such as Java's AWT, the GTK toolkit or the Qt toolkit. It is

-Adds the {\it window} to the sizer. As wxSizer itself is an abstract class, the parameters
-have no meaning in the wxSizer class itself, but as there currently is only one class
-deriving directly from wxSizer and this class does not override these methods, the meaning
-of the parameters is described here:
+Appends a child to the sizer. wxSizer itself is an abstract class, but the parameters are
+equivalent in the derived classes that you will instantiate to use it so they are described
+here:
\docparam{window}{The window to be added to the sizer. Its initial size (either set explicitly by the
user or calculated internally when using wxDefaultSize) is interpreted as the minimal and in many
horizontal boxes on the level beneath).}
\docparam{width and height}{The dimension of a spacer to be added to the sizer. Adding spacers to sizers
-gives more flexilibilty in the design of dialogs; imagine for example a horizontal box with two buttons at the
+gives more flexibility in the design of dialogs; imagine for example a horizontal box with two buttons at the
bottom of a dialog: you might want to insert a space between the two buttons and make that space stretchable
-using the {\it option} flag and the result will be that the left button will be aligned with the left
+using the {\it proportion} flag and the result will be that the left button will be aligned with the left
side of the dialog and the right button with the right side - the space in between will shrink and grow with
the dialog.}
-\docparam{option}{Although the meaning of this parameter is undefined in wxSizer, it is used in wxBoxSizer
+\docparam{proportion}{Although the meaning of this parameter is undefined in wxSizer, it is used in wxBoxSizer
to indicate if a child of a sizer can change its size in the main orientation of the wxBoxSizer - where
-0 stands for not changable and a value of more than zero is interpreted relative to the value of other
+0 stands for not changeable and a value of more than zero is interpreted relative to the value of other
children of the same wxBoxSizer. For example, you might have a horizontal wxBoxSizer with three children, two
of which are supposed to change their size with the sizer. Then the two stretchable windows would get a
value of 1 each to make them grow and shrink equally with the sizer's horizontal dimension.}
-\docparam{flag}{This parameter can be used to set a number of flags which can be combined using
-the binary OR operator |. Two main behaviours are defined 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.}

+to the value returned by its \helpref{GetAdjustedBestSize()}{wxwindowgetadjustedbestsize}
+method - this allows, for example, for correct relayouting of a static text
+control even if its text is changed during run-time.}
