/**
 * Base interface for boxes within a frame.
 * 
 * There are several types of often-used panels, in increasing order of complexity and functionality:
 * 
 * 
 * {@link LayoutPanel}
 * A class only used for laying out child components without providing extra arrangement such as inter-child-component spacing.
 * {@link ArrangePanel}
 * A panel that semantically demarcates an area that arranges other components. This panel is usually styled to arrange the spacing between child
 * components.
 * {@link SectionPanel}
 * A panel that demarcates a semantically significant area of the a parent component with arranged child components.
