HSquash
VSquash
HVSquash 		Layout aid: Minimize widget to its nice size

Description

The Squash widgets are used to control the layout. A HSquash widget makes its child widget nonstretchable in the horizontal dimension. A VSquash operates vertically, a HVSquash in both dimensions. You can used this for example to reverse the effect of `Left making a widget stretchable. If you want to make a VBox containing for left aligned CheckBoxes, but want the VBox itself to be nonstretchable and centered, than you enclose each CheckBox with a `Left(..) and the whole VBox with a HSquash(...).

See the Layout HOWTO for details.

					     `Left(`CheckBox("short")),
