reflow-container in area-container<%>
When a container window is not shown, changes to the container's set
of children do not necessarily trigger the immediate re-computation
of the container's size and its children's sizes and positions.
Instead, the recalculation is delayed until the container is shown,
which avoids redundant computations between a series of changes. The
reflow-container method forces the immediate recalculation of the container's and its
children's sizes and locations.
Immediately after calling the
reflow-container method,
get-size,
get-client-size,
get-width,
get-height,
get-x, and
get-y report the manager-applied sizes and locations for the container and
its children, even when the container is hidden. A
container implementation can call functions such as
get-size at any time to obtain the current state of a window (because the
functions do not trigger geometry management).
