|phoenix_title|  **wx.SizerItem**
==========================================================================================================================================

The :ref:`wx.SizerItem`  class is used to track the position, size and other attributes of each item managed by a :ref:`wx.Sizer`.          

It is not usually necessary to use this class because the sizer elements can also be identified by their positions or window or sizer pointers but sometimes it may be more convenient to use it directly.
