h1(#wxboxsizer). Wx::BoxSizer

BoxSizers arrange their contents as either a column or a row, and may be
nested to create sophisticated resizeable layouts. The idea behind a box
sizer is that windows will most often be laid out in rather simple basic
geometry, a row or a column, or hierarchies of both.

The subclasses @Wx::HBoxSizer@ and @Wx::VBoxSizer@ are simply shortcuts
for creating horizontal and vertical BoxSizers, respectively. The
following are equivalent:

  Wx::BoxSizer.new(Wx::HORIZONTAL)
  
  Wx::HBoxSizer.new
