 The layout algorithm used by sizers in wxWidgets is closely related to layout
 in other GUI toolkits, such as Java's AWT, the GTK toolkit or the Qt toolkit. It is
 based upon the idea of the individual subwindows reporting their minimal required
 size and their ability to get stretched if the size of the parent window has changed.
