 \section{\class{wxBoxSizer}}\label{wxboxsizer}
 
-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
-two buttons at the bottom. This can be seen as a top-hierarchy column with the text at
-the top and buttons at the bottom and a low-hierchary row with an OK button to the left
-and a Cancel button to the right. In many cases (particulary dialogs under Unix and
-normal frames) the main window will be resizable by the user and this change of size
-will have to get propagated to its children. In our case, we want the text area to grow
-with the dialog, whereas the button shall have a fixed size. In addition, there will be
-a thin border around all controls to make the dialog look nice and - to make matter worse -
-the buttons shall be centred as the width of the dialog changes.
-
-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 
-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)).
-
-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
-constants or wxALL for all directions (and you may also use wxNORTH, wxWEST etc instead). These
-flags can be used in combintaion with the alignement flags above as the second paramter of the
-Add() method using the binary or operator |. The sizer of the border also must be made known,
-and it is the third parameter in the Add() method. This means, that the entire behaviour of
-a sizer and its children can be controlled by the three parameters of the Add() method.
