==========================================================================================================================================

A static line is just a line which may be used in a dialog to separate the groups of controls.          

The line may be only vertical or horizontal. Moreover, not all ports (notably not wxGTK) support specifying the transversal direction of the line (e.g. height for a horizontal line) so for maximal portability you should specify it as DefaultCoord. 





.. _StaticLine-styles:

|styles| Window Styles
================================

This class supports the following styles: 

- ``LI_HORIZONTAL``: Creates a horizontal line.  
- ``LI_VERTICAL``: Creates a vertical line.

   .. staticmethod:: GetDefaultSize()

      This static function returns the size which will be given to the smaller dimension of the static line, i.e.                  

      its height for a horizontal line or its width for a vertical one.                  

      :rtype: `int`
