+The Form widget can contain an arbitrary number of children or
+subwidgets. The Form provides geometry management for its children,
+which allows individual control of the position of each child. Any
+combination of children can be added to a Form. The initial positions
+of the children may be computed relative to the positions of previously
+created children. When the Form is resized, it computes new positions and
+sizes for its children. This computation is based upon information
+provided when a child is added to the Form.

+The default width of the Form is the minimum width needed to

+be clipped by the right and bottom edges of the Form.

+<title>Layout Semantics</title>
+<para>
+The Form widget uses two different sets of layout semantics.
+One is used when initially laying out the children. The
+other is used when the Form is resized.
+</para>
+<para>
+The first layout method uses the <function>fromVert</function>
+and <function>fromHoriz</function>
+resources to place the children of the Form. A single pass
+is made through the Form widget's children in the order that
+they were created. Each child is then placed in the Form
+widget below or to the right of the widget specified by the
+<function>fromVert</function> and <function>fromHoriz</function>
+resources. The distance the new
+child is placed from its left or upper neighbor is deter-
+mined by the <function>horizDistance</function> and
+<function>vertDistance</function> resources. This
+implies some things about how the order of creation affects
+the possible placement of the children. The Form widget
+registers a string to widget converter which does not post-
+pone conversion and does not cache conversion results.
+</para>
+<para>
+The second layout method is used when the Form is resized.
+It does not matter what causes this resize, and it is possi-
+ble for a resize to happen before the widget becomes visible
+(due to constraints imposed by the parent of the Form).
+This layout method uses the <function>bottom</function>,
+<function>top</function>, <function>left</function>, and
+<function>right</function>
+resources. These resources are used to determine what will
+happen to each edge of the child when the Form is resized.
+If a value of <function>XawChain</function>
+&lt;<emphasis remap='I'>something</emphasis>&gt; is specified, the the edge
+of the child will remain a fixed distance from the
+<emphasis remap='I'>chain</emphasis>
+edge of the Form. For example if <function>XawChainLeft</function> is specified
+for the <function>right</function> resource of a child then the right edge of
+that child will remain a fixed distance from the left edge
+of the Form widget. If a value of <function>XawRubber</function> is specified,
+that edge will grow by the same percentage that the Form
+grew. For instance if the Form grows by 50% the left edge
+of the child (if specified as <function>XawRubber</function> will be 50% farther
+from the left edge of the Form). One must be very careful
+when specifying these resources, for when they are specified
+incorrectly children may overlap or completely occlude other
+children when the Form widget is resized.
