""" An example which demonstrates the manual specification of a `vbox`.

This example demonstrates how one would manually define the constraints
for a `vbox` style layout. In fact, the `vbox` layout helper generates
the primitive constraints in a fashion very similar to this example.
The intent of this example is to demonstrate that all of the layout
helper functions can be distilled down to a list of primitive
constraints.
