Add initial documentation for Layout API, not everything is documented, and it's not perfect, but its time to commit this.

\page interface_intro Introduction to the Interface Kit.
|
||||
|
||||
The Interface Kit holds all the classes you'll need to develop a GUI.
|
||||
Building on the messaging facilities provided by the Application Kit,
|
||||
the Inteface Kit can be used to create a responsive and attractive graphical
|
||||
user interface.
|
||||
|
||||
The most important class in the Interface Kit is the BView class, which
|
||||
handles drawing and user interaction. Pointer and keyboard events are
|
||||
processed in this class.
|
||||
|
||||
Another important class is the BWindow class, which holds BViews and makes
|
||||
them visibile to the user. The BWindow class also handles BView focusing
|
||||
and BMessage dispatching, among other things.
|
||||
|
||||
A new addition Haiku has added over the BeOS API is the Layout API, which
|
||||
is based around the BLayoutItem and BLayout classes. These classes will
|
||||
take care of making sure all your GUI widgets end up where you want them,
|
||||
with enough space to be useful. You can start learning the Layout API
|
||||
by reading the \link layout_intro introduction \endlink.
