This might call for a setAutoSize() function on either
DynLayer or TemplateManager.
lyr.setAutoSize(true) // will adjust the size of the
layer everytime its content changes or a new child is
added.
lyr.setAutoSize(false) // will disable auto-resize
Sometime ago I had create such a function for use in
one of my test systems. Should this function be added
to DynLayer or to TemplateManager?
