# `wxBoxSizer`
[🔗](https://github.com/kikofernandez/otp/blob/kiko/otp/release-gh-action-backup-continuation/OTP-20040/lib/wx/src/gen/wxBoxSizer.erl#L58)

The basic idea behind a box sizer is that windows will most often be laid out in rather
simple basic geometry, typically in a row or a column or several hierarchies of either.

For more information, please see overview_sizer_box.

See:
* `m:wxSizer`

* [Overview sizer](https://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.2/overview_sizer.html#overview_sizer)

This class is derived, and can use functions, from:

* `m:wxSizer`

wxWidgets docs: [wxBoxSizer](https://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.2/classwx_box_sizer.html)

# `getOrientation`

```elixir
-spec getOrientation(This) -> integer() when This :: wxBoxSizer().
```

# `new`

```elixir
