/**
 * Node layout has an advanced layouting mechanism. Every item's position
 * is defined by two nodes - one for top-left corner, and the other one for
 * bottom-right corner.
 * 
 * Each node is defined by a pair of relative (xr, yr) and a pair of 
 * absolute (xa, ya) coordinates. The calculated node coordinates depend
 * on the size and position of the NodeLayout object in the following
 * manner:
 *   x = layoutLeft + (xr * layoutWidth)  + xa
 *   y = layoutTop  + (yr * layoutHeight) + ya
 *
 * Alternatively, the item's position can be defined by using one node and
 * one pair of relative coordinates (xr, yr). In that case, the item is sized
 * following the sizeHint(). The relative coordinates (this time they are 
 * relative to the item's geometry, not the layout's) specify what point of
 * the item will be bound to the defined node.
