Composite.layout

If the receiver has a layout, asks the layout to <em>lay out</em> (that is, set the size and location of) the receiver's children. If the changed argument is <code>true</code> the layout must not rely on any information it has cached about its children. If it is <code>false</code> the layout may (potentially) optimize the work it is doing by assuming that none of the receiver's children has changed state since the last layout. If the all argument is <code>true</code> the layout will cascade down through all child widgets in the receiver's widget tree, regardless of whether the child has changed size. The changed argument is applied to all layouts. If the all argument is <code>false</code>, the layout will <em>not</em> cascade down through all child widgets in the receiver's widget tree. However, if a child is resized as a result of a call to layout, the resize event will invoke the layout of the child. Note that a layout due to a resize will not flush any cached information (same as <code>layout(false)</code>). </p> <p> Note: Layout is different from painting. If a child is moved or resized such that an area in the parent is exposed, then the parent will paint. If no child is affected, the parent will not paint. </p>

@param changed <code>true</code> if the layout must flush its caches, and <code>false</code> otherwise @param all <code>true</code> if all children in the receiver's widget tree should be laid out, and <code>false</code> otherwise
