It has nothing to do with what kind of graphics are supported.
Layout
Yes, that demo of MiG looks truely awesome...
The fact that you can write:
hPanel.add(createTextField(), width 25%!);
is awesome... I've always wanted to be able to express the size in terms of
a % of the parent!

I can imagine you can mess up a form with MiG. But I think you'll have to
try.

Hi all,
I code also in wxPython and I use its sizers quite often. I think they
are a great idea and they are what I almost always miss in the Pascal world.
One advantage of the sizers is the cross-platformity of your layout.
There are predefined sizes of every control for each platform,

What's the base class for an layout manager?

There is none specific. I would suggest trying TCustomControl if you
also want to draw borders or TControl if you just want to position
childs.

It takes ages to align Qt's layouts and spacers in a way that they work at
least a little bit

At the moment this is completely in the LCL. Controls can override
various methods to alter that behavior and applications

Hi,
Some C++ class libraries have object classes that automatically resize
widgets when a form is resized by the user. For example, wxWidgets calls
them sizers, and Qt calls them layouts. I have perused the LCL
documentation and have found nothing that quite meets the bill. I tried
