    This class is only here for backward compatibility;

    all functionality is now in VariablePanel. Its orientation can now

    be changed dynamically.

    A View to separate its subviews horizontally by a movable bar

    to adjust the size-ratios.

    The bar-handle is either an exposed knob (knobStyle == #motif)

    or the forms defined in Scroller (knobStyle ~~ #motif)

    or nothing.

    The subvies dimensions MUST be given as relative sizes;

    typically creation is done as:

        p := VariableHorizontalPanel in:superView.

        v1 := <someViewClass> origin:0.0 @ 0.0

                              corner:0.5 @ 1.0

                                  in:p.

        v2 := <someViewClass> origin:0.5 @ 0.0

                              corner:0.8 @ 1.0

                                  in:p.

        v3 := <someViewClass> origin:0.8 @ 0.0

                              corner:1.0 @ 1.0

                                  in:p.

   VariableHorizontalPanel is simply setting its orientation

   to #horizontal. See more examples there.

   dummy example: 2 views side-by-side

                                                                        [exBegin]

        |top p v1 v2|

        top := StandardSystemView new.

        top extent:300@200.

        p := VariableHorizontalPanel 

                 origin:0.0 @ 0.0

                 corner:1.0 @ 1.0

                 in:top.

        v1 := View 

                 origin:0.0 @ 0.0

                 corner:0.5 @ 1.0

                 in:p.

        v1 viewBackground:Color red.

        v2 := View 

                 origin:0.5 @ 0.0

                 corner:1.0 @ 1.0

                 in:p.

        v2 viewBackground:Color green.

        top open

                                                                        [exEnd]

   concrete example: a selectionInListView and a TextView side-by-side

   (not useful - need scrollBars; see next example)

                                                                        [exBegin]

        |top p v1 v2|

        top := StandardSystemView new.

        top extent:400@300.

        p := VariableHorizontalPanel 

                 origin:0.0 @ 0.0

                 corner:1.0 @ 1.0

                 in:top.

        v1 := SelectionInListView 

                 origin:0.0 @ 0.0

                 corner:0.5 @ 1.0

                 in:p.

        v1 list:('/etc' asFilename directoryContents).

        v1 useIndex:false.

        v1 action:[:name | v2 contents:('/etc/' , name) 

                                asFilename contentsOfEntireFile

                  ].

        v2 := TextView 

                 origin:0.5 @ 0.0

                 corner:1.0 @ 1.0

                 in:p.

        top open

                                                                        [exEnd]

    better - with scrollBars (but thats another story ... see ScrollableView examples for more):

                                                                        [exBegin]

        |top p v1 v2|

        top := StandardSystemView new.

        top extent:400@300.

        p := VariableHorizontalPanel 

                 origin:0.0 @ 0.0

                 corner:1.0 @ 1.0

                 in:top.

        v1 := ScrollableView for:SelectionInListView 

                 origin:0.0 @ 0.0

                 corner:0.5 @ 1.0

                 in:p.

        v1 list:('/etc' asFilename directoryContents).

        v1 useIndex:false.

        v1 action:[:name | v2 contents:('/etc/' , name) 

                                asFilename contentsOfEntireFile

                  ].

        v2 := ScrollableView for:TextView 

                 origin:0.5 @ 0.0

                 corner:1.0 @ 1.0

                 in:p.

        top open

                                                                        [exEnd]

   another stupid example: 3-views side-by-side

                                                                        [exBegin]

        |top p v1 v2 v3|

        top := StandardSystemView new.

        top extent:550@200.

        p := VariableHorizontalPanel 

                 origin:0.0 @ 0.0

                 corner:1.0 @ 1.0

                 in:top.

        v1 := SelectionInListView 

                 origin:0.0 @ 0.0

                 corner:0.3 @ 1.0

                 in:p.

        v1 level:-1.

        v1 list:#('one' 'two' 'three' nil 'dont expect' 'something' 'to happen here').

        v2 := EditTextView 

                 origin:0.3 @ 0.0

                 corner:0.6 @ 1.0

                 in:p.

        v2 contents:'nonScrollable\EditTextView' withCRs.

        v3 := ScrollableView 

                 for:TextView 

                 origin:0.6 @ 0.0 

                 corner:1.0 @ 1.0

                 in:p.

        v3 contents:'scrollable\TextView\\(read only)\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\concratulations !!\you managed\to scroll down' withCRs.

        top open

                                                                        [exEnd]
