@section{description}
FlowLayout is a decorator which automatically arranges views inside a container view in a row, and starts a new row if there is not enough space left for the next view. link::Classes/Window:: and link::Classes/CompositeView:: both have
@racketblock[addFlowLayout:: methods which assign FlowLayout to their view decorators and return the decorator.

@section{method}
new
@section{argument}
bounds
An instance of link::Classes/Rect::. Normally set to the
@racketblock[parent.bounds::.
]
@section{argument}
margin
An instance of link::Classes/Point::. The horizontal and vertical inner margins, within which the parent's subviews are placed.
@section{argument}
gap
An instance of link::Classes/Point::. The horizontal and vertical layout gap between the subviews.
@section{discussion}
Example:
@racketblock[
(
w = Window.new.front;
//change the gaps and margins to see how they work
w.view.decorator = FlowLayout( w.view.bounds, 10@10, 20@5 );
16.do{ Slider2D( w.view,80@80 ).background_( Color.rand ) };
)
::
You can also write:
]
@racketblock[
(
w = Window.new.front;
w.addFlowLayout( 10@10, 20@5 ); // a shortcut method, see SCContainerView
16.do{ Slider2D( w.view,80@80 ).background_( Color.rand ) };
)

@section{method}
nextLine
Forces the decorator to start a new line:
@racketblock[
(
w = Window.new;
q = w.addFlowLayout( 10@10, 20@5 );
Slider2D( w.view,140@140 ).background_( Color.rand );
q.nextLine;
Slider2D( w.view,140@140 ).background_( Color.rand );
w.front;
)

@section{method}
indentedRemaining
Returns and instance of link::Classes/Rect::. This is a very useful method which tells you how much space is left in a row, before the next row starts. The height of
@racketblock[indentedRemaining::, is the full height remaining in the FlowLayout.
]
@racketblock[
(
//normally you will only use the width of indentedRemaining
w = Window.new;
w.view.decorator = d = FlowLayout.new( w.view.bounds, 10@10, 20@5 );
Slider2D( w.view,150@150 ).background_( Color.rand );
Slider2D( w.view,150@150 ).background_( Color.rand );
Slider( w.view, d.indentedRemaining.width@150) //fits this view perfectly to the right innerBounds
.background_( Color.rand );
w.front;
)
::
Compare this with:
]
@racketblock[
( //here the third view is fit to both the right and bottom innerBounds
w = Window.new;
w.view.decorator = d = FlowLayout.new( w.view.bounds, 10@10, 20@5 );
Slider2D( w.view,140@140 ).background_( Color.rand );
Slider2D( w.view,140@140 ).background_( Color.rand );
d.nextLine;
Slider2D( w.view, d.indentedRemaining ).background_( Color.rand );
w.front;
