Ex.1: Layout with spacing

# explicit layout with spacing
set w1 [qwidget ]
qsetwindowtitle "Layout Spacing"
set layout [qhboxlayout $w1]
qsetspacing $layout 30
set label [qlabel "<---------->"]
qaddwidget $layout $label
set label [qlabel "<---------->"]
qaddwidget $layout $label
qshow $w1

# implicit layout with spacing
set w1 [qwidget ]
qsetwindowtitle "Layout Spacing"
qhboxlayout {
	qsetspacing 30
	qlabel "<------------>"
	qlabel "<------------>"
}

qshow $w1

The arrows displayed in the example above would usually have been aligned immediately next to each other. Now that the layout has its spacing parameter set the spacing too will be accordingly.
