<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The QSizePolicy class is a layout attribute describing horizontal and vertical resizing policy.</p>
<p>The size policy of a widget is an expression of its willingness to be resized in various ways, and affects how the widget is treated by the <a href="geomanagement.html">layout engine</a>. Widgets that reimplement <a href="qwidget.html#sizePolicy-prop">QWidget::sizePolicy</a>() return a QSizePolicy that describes the horizontal and vertical resizing policy they prefer when being laid out.</p>
<p>QSizePolicy contains two independent <a href="qsizepolicy.html#Policy-enum">QSizePolicy::Policy</a> values and two stretch factors; one describes the widgets's horizontal size policy, and the other describes its vertical size policy. It also contains a flag to indicate whether the height and width of its preferred size are related.</p>
<p>The horizontal and vertical policies can be set in the constructor, and altered using the <a href="qsizepolicy.html#setHorizontalPolicy">setHorizontalPolicy</a>() and <a href="qsizepolicy.html#setVerticalPolicy">setVerticalPolicy</a>() functions. The stretch factors can be set using the <a href="qsizepolicy.html#setHorizontalStretch">setHorizontalStretch</a>() and <a href="qsizepolicy.html#setVerticalStretch">setVerticalStretch</a>() functions. The flag indicating whether the widget's <a href="qwidget.html#sizeHint-prop">sizeHint()</a> is width-dependent (such as a menu bar or a word-wrapping label) can be set using the <a href="qsizepolicy.html#setHeightForWidth">setHeightForWidth</a>() function.</p>
<p>The current size policies and stretch factors be retrieved using the <a href="qsizepolicy.html#horizontalPolicy">horizontalPolicy</a>(), <a href="qsizepolicy.html#verticalPolicy">verticalPolicy</a>(), <a href="qsizepolicy.html#horizontalStretch">horizontalStretch</a>() and <a href="qsizepolicy.html#verticalStretch">verticalStretch</a>() functions. Alternatively, use the <a href="qsizepolicy.html#transpose">transpose</a>() function to swap the horizontal and vertical policies and stretches. The <a href="qsizepolicy.html#hasHeightForWidth">hasHeightForWidth</a>() function returns the current status of the flag indicating the size hint dependencies.</p>
<p>Use the <a href="qsizepolicy.html#expandingDirections">expandingDirections</a>() function to determine whether the associated widget can make use of more space than its <a href="qwidget.html#sizeHint-prop">sizeHint()</a> function indicates, as well as find out in which directions it can expand.</p>
<p>Finally, the QSizePolicy class provides operators comparing this size policy to a given policy, as well as a <a href="qvariant.html">QVariant</a> operator storing this QSizePolicy as a <a href="qvariant.html">QVariant</a> object.</p>
