35  * Base class for the placement helper.
36  *
37  * The normal operation for the usage of the class is:
38  * * Call @ref initialize().
39  * * For every visible child item call @ref add_item() with the wanted size of
40  * the widget.
41  * Once this is done the required size for all children can be retrieved with
42  * @ref get_size(). It is also possible to place all children now. In order to
43  * do so loop again over all children in the same order as @ref add_item() and
44  * call @ref get_origin(). The @p index parameter is an increasing counter.
45  *
46  * @note The origins can only be retrieved after all items are added since the
47  * adding of a later item may influence a previous item. E.g. in a vertical
48  * list with two columns the position of the second column depends on the width
49  * of the first and a later row may have a wider column 1 as an earlier row.
