Script for learning sizers

wxPython Users
1

I have read through all of this sizer learning information and I still can't figure out the formula for adding spacers to a GridBagSizer. Sometimes they
work as I expect them to, then in other situations I can't get a space in the row or column I want it in. I suppose it is time for me to build a simple
program to play with, but I wonder if there is any way to get gridlines to show up in the GridBagSizer or to get spacers to show up for debugging purposes?
Just a thought.

I haven't improved the code, but I did a little re-arranging of the
wiki, so you can now get straight to the script from:

http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/UsingSizers

Removing two layers of redirection.

Sizers are used only for computing the size of their components, so
they have no visible properties per se. You can't turn on grid
lines, for example. But what I often do is to add colored panels to
the sizer; the spacers are (obviously) what is left over (not
colored).
