6.1.2. Layout Semantics
Each time a child is managed or unmanaged, the Box widget will attempt to reposition the
remaining children to compact the box. Children are positioned in order left to right, top to bot-
tom. The packing algorithm used depends on the orientation of the Box.
XtorientVertical When the next child does not fit on the current row, a new row isstarted.
If a child is wider than the width of the box, the box will request a larger
width from its parent and will begin the layout process from the begin-
ning if a newwidth is granted.
XtorientHorizontal When the next child does not fit on the current row, the Box widens if
possible (so as to keep children on a single row); otherwise a newrow is
started.
After positioning all children, the Box widget attempts to shrink its own size to the minimum
dimensions required for the layout.
