Description
===========

Objects of this class can be associated with a window to define its layout constraints, with respect to siblings or its parent.

The class consists of the following eight constraints of class `wx.IndividualLayoutConstraint <wx.IndividualLayoutConstraint.html>`_, 
some or all of which should be accessed directly to set the appropriate constraints.


* **left:** represents the left hand edge of the window
* **right:** represents the right hand edge of the window
* **top:** represents the top edge of the window
* **bottom:** represents the bottom edge of the window
* **width:** represents the width of the window
* **height:** represents the height of the window
* **centreX:** represents the horizontal centre point of the window
* **centreY:** represents the vertical centre point of the window

Most constraints are initially set to have the relationship `wx.Unconstrained`, which means that their values should be calculated by looking at 
known constraints. The exceptions are `width` and `height`, which are set to `wx.AsIs` to ensure that if the user does not specify a constraint, 
the existing width and height will be used, to be compatible with panel items which often have take a default size. 

If the constraint is `wx.AsIs`, the dimension will not be changed.

.. warning:: constraints are now deprecated and you should use `sizers <wx.Sizer.html>`_ instead.
