public class Box extends Container implements Orientable
HBox), or a single column (for the case of
VBox). All the children of a Box are allocated one dimension
in common, being the height of a row, or the width of a column,
respectively.
Nested combinations of VBoxes and HBoxes are the cornerstone layout technique used in GTK. A top level VBox to organize a Window is followed by a sequence Widgets, many of which will end up being HBoxes, and each of those in turn might contain further Containers. This sort of thing gives you great flexibility when laying out your user interface.
Boxes are also used to enable grouping of Widgets at very small scales as well. For example, the ok Button you see in every GNOME dialog is actually an Image holding the icon and a Label with the text "OK" packed into an HBox; the HBox is what was actually added to the Button!

If you specify false here, then any extra space
will pad the Widget, rather than causing it to grow larger.padding - extra space (in pixels) to put between this child and its
neighbours. This is over and above the global amount of
padding that was specified by the spacing
