     *
     * Each child can have two anchors: the top left and bottom right corners 
     * of the child visual. These anchors can be fastened to any point within 
     * this layout, as specified by the other parameters.
     *
     * In a typical case you set two anchors (both EAlfAnchorTopLeft and 
     * EAlfAnchorBottomRight), which specifies both size and position for the 
     * child. However it is also possible to set only the EAlfAnchorTopLeft 
     * anchor, which only positions the child without affecting it's size.
     * 
     * @see RemoveAnchor() to remove an achor definition.
     * 
     * @note  After updating anchors, you should call 
     *        CAlfLayout::UpdateChildrenLayout(), to cause the anchors to be 
     *        applied to child positions and/or sizes.
     * 
     * For example the following code will anchor child visual number 0 in 
     * the middle of the layout, with a 25% border around the outside:
     *
     * \code
     *      // set top left corner position of 1st child ..
     *	    iLayout->SetAnchor(EAlfAnchorTopLeft, 0,

     *          EAlfAnchorOriginTop,
     *          EAlfAnchorMetricRelativeToSize, // With EAlfAnchorOriginLeft means that 0.0 goes to left edge, and 1.0 to the right
     *          EAlfAnchorMetricRelativeToSize, // With EAlfAnchorOriginTop means that 0.0 goes to top edge, and 1.0 to the bottom
     *          TAlfTimedPoint(0.25, 0.25));
     *      // .. and set the bottom right corner also to fix the size
     * 	    iLayout->SetAnchor(EAlfAnchorBottomRight, 0,
     *	        EAlfAnchorOriginRight, 
     *          EAlfAnchorOriginBottom,

     *          TAlfTimedPoint(-0.25, -0.25)); 
     * \endcode

     * Anchors one or more edges of a child visual to a specific position 
     * within this layout. When combined together, a correctly specified group 
     * of anchors provide sufficient information for the anchor layout to 
     * determine the size and position of the child visual.
     *
     * Each child can have up to four anchors, each of which correspond to an 
     * edge. A corner anchor is equivalent to supplying two similar orthogonal 
     * edge anchors, so typically it is easier to use corners. Therefore, each 
     * child can have up to two corner anchors, or a mixture of corners and 
     * edges. Alternatively, four similar edges can be specified in one call by 
     * supplying a box metric.
     *
     * In a typical case you set two different corner anchors (for example both 
     * EAlfAnchorTypeTopLeft and EAlfAnchorTypeBottomRight), taking care
     * to ensure that they are sufficiently orthogonal in order to define all needed
     * coordinates. However it is also possible to set only one corner anchor, 
     * which only positions the child without affecting it's size. Alternatively,
     * one anchor can be specified as a corner, and then the other can be 
     * specified as EAlfAnchorTypeSize; similarly the coordinates along
     * one axis can be specified by an appropriate combination of edge and 
     * width or height anchors.
     *
     * The position of each anchor relative to this layout is determined
     * by the choice of origin (i.e. which point of the layout the 
     * child's is attached to), and the offset position, which is specified
     * using a TAlfMetric or related type. All available features of 
     * TAlfMetric may be used to affect the resulting position, providing the 
     * benefit that different metrics can be used for each child. Also note 
     * that the metric used will override the base unit that has been set in 
     * this layout.
     * 
     * @note if called again to specify the same anchor types
     *      that have been previous set, those definitions will be updated. 
     *      However, in order to change type, it is necessary to detach a 
     *      previously defined anchor first, as there can only be a maximum 
     *      of two anchors along each axis (for a given child).
     * @note that size anchor type and attachment origins are not 
     *      currenly supported. 
     * @note that center anchor type is not currently supported.
     * @note if an anchor of similar type has already been defined it will be 
     *      replaced, however in general it is easier to manage anchors by 
     *      removing them all and starting again.
     * @note  After updating anchors, you should call 
     *      @c CAlfLayout::UpdateChildrenLayout(), to cause the anchors to be 
     *      applied to child positions and/or sizes.
