NAME

       Glue, HGlue, VGlue - open space between interactors

SYNOPSIS

       #include <InterViews/glue.h>

DESCRIPTION

       A  glue  object is an interactor that is used to define variable-size space between interactors in boxes.
       The HGlue subclass is for space in a horizontal box; VGlue for space in a vertical box.  Along its  minor
       axis  (vertical  for  HGlue,  horizontal  for  VGlue),  glue  has  a  natural  size  of zero and infinite
       stretchability.

PUBLIC OPERATIONS

       HGlue(int natural = 0, int stretch = hfil)
       VGlue(int natural = 0, int stretch = vfil)
              Construct glue with a given natural size and stretchability.  The glue's shrinkability is  defined
              to be the same as the natural size, meaning it can shrink to zero.

       HGlue(int natural, int shrink, int stretch)
       VGlue(int natural, int shrink, int stretch)
              Construct  glue with a given natural size, shrinkability, and stretchability.  If shrink is larger
              than natural the glue potentially can have ``negative size'', meaning interactors will overlap  in
              a box.
