<summary>A Box is a Gtk container that holds an arbitrary number of widgets. This means its sole purpose is to provide layout, size and spacing for other widgets.</summary>
<remarks><para>A Box is a rectangular area organized into either a single row or a single column of child widgets, depending upon whether the box is horizontally or vertically oriented, respectively.</para>
<para>A Box is abstract - specific layout containers are provided in its sub classes, including a horizontal box, (<see cref="T:Gtk.HBox"/>), a vertical box (<see cref="T:Gtk.VBox"/>), and button boxes, (<see cref="T:Gtk.ButtonBox"/>).</para>
<para>
Widgets that are 'packed' into a box are considered to be the children of the box, and the box controls their layout. Properties such as <see cref="P:Homogeneous"/> control the layout of all the children in the box, whereas specific packing settings can be applied to each child individually, such as <see cref="M:SetChildPacking(Gtk.Widget,bool,bool,uint,Gtk.PackType)"/>.
