Detailed Description

Size hints for the layout algorithm.

The width and height correspond to a penalty, or ugliness. When allocating space to widgets, the layout algorithm attempts to keep the total penalty at a minimum. Or, if it doesn't fit, even with the maximum penalty, the layout is split into smaller parts and the procedure starts all over again. In this case, one layout takes up several screen cycles on the display.
