/**
* @class AlfLayoutManager alflayoutmanager.h "alf/alflayoutmanager.h"
* The interface for layout managers
*
* Layout manager handles the layouting of child widgets in the container widget.
* It uses IAlfLayoutPreferences-interface (@see IAlfLayoutPreferences)
* of child widgets as a guide for laying out the widgets. The layoutmanager
* is set to the IAlfHostApi- interface (@see IAlfHostApi::setBaseLayout)
* createLayout-method should be the first call after creating the layoutmanager.
*
* Layout manager may also provide information about the layout preferences of its
* children. If this is supported the layout manager will combine the layout preferences
* of its children taking into consideration the technique used to lay out the children
* using the layout manager. This will provide information about the whole display area
* occupied by the layout manager. For instance vertical flow layout manager will provide
* preferred size area of its children by summing their heights and providing the maximum
* width among the children.
*
* @code
* // Create layout manager interface.
* IAlfLayoutManager* layoutManager = IAlfInterfaceBase::makeInterface<IAlfLayoutManager>(control);
*
* // See if layout preferences is supported in the given layout manager.
* IAlfLayoutPreferences* layoutPreferences = IAlfInterfaceBase::makeInterface<IAlfLayoutPreferences>(layoutManager);
*
* if(layoutPreferences != 0)
* {
* TAlfXYMetric preferredSize;
* // This will report the preferred size of the layout by combining together preferred sizes of its children.
* bool result = layoutPreferences->getPreferredSize(preferredSize);
* }
* @endcode
