23 * @class KColumnResizer kcolumnresizer.h KColumnResizer
24 *
25 * @short Maintains consistent column sizes across layouts
26 *
27 * KColumnResizer is a helper class which can force columns of different layouts
28 * to keep the same width. It is useful to keep label columns consistent.
29 *
30 * It works with QGridLayout and QFormLayout.
31 *
32 * @image html kcolumnresizer.png "left: without KColumnResizer - right: with KColumnResizer"
33 *
34 * Here is a typical example:
35 *
36 * @code
37 * void Window::createWidgets()
38 * {
39 * QVBoxLayout *layout = new QVBoxLayout(this);
40 *
41 * QGroupBox *box1 = new QGroupBox();
42 * // Fill box1
43 * // ...
44 * layout->addWidget(box1);
45 *
46 * QGroupBox *box2 = new QGroupBox();
47 * // Fill box2
48 * // ...
49 * layout->addWidget(box2);
50 *
51 * KColumnResizer *resizer = new KColumnResizer(this);
52 * resizer->addWidgetsFromLayout(box1->layout(), 0);
53 * resizer->addWidgetsFromLayout(box2->layout(), 0);
54 * }
55 * @endcode
56 *
57 * In this example box1 and box2 children can be organized using QGridLayout or
58 * QFormLayout, resizer will ensure the first columns of the two QGroupBox stay
59 * the same width.
