   5 Some functions accept a \var{sizepolicy} parameter. The possible
   6 values are:

   8 \begin{flushleft}
   9 \codestr{default},
  10 \codestr{full},
  11 \codestr{full\_bounds},
  12 \codestr{free},
  13 \codestr{free\_glue},
  14 \codestr{northwest},
  15 \codestr{north},
  16 \codestr{northeast},
  17 \codestr{west},
  18 \codestr{center},
  19 \codestr{east},
  20 \codestr{southwest},
  21 \codestr{south},
  22 \codestr{southeast},
  23 \codestr{stretch\_top},
  24 \codestr{stretch\_bottom},
  25 \codestr{stretch\_left},
  26 \codestr{stretch\_right},
  27 \codestr{free\_glue\_northwest},
  28 \codestr{free\_glue\_north},
  29 \codestr{free\_glue\_northeast},
  30 \codestr{free\_glue\_west},
  31 \codestr{free\_glue\_center},
  32 \codestr{free\_glue\_east},
  33 \codestr{free\_glue\_southwest},
  34 \codestr{free\_glue\_south}, and
  35 \codestr{free\_glue\_southeast}.

  38 The ``free'' policies allow the managed
  39 object to be moved around, whereas the other versions do not.
  40 The ``glue'' policies glue the object to some border, while allowing
  41 it to be moved away from it by user action, but not automatically.
  42 The ``stretch'' policies stretch the object along the given border,
  43 while the coordinate-based policies simply place the object along
  44 that border.
