Arrange a single element inside a standard panel

obj = uiextras.Panel( )
creates a standard uipanel object but with automatic management of the contained widget or layout. The properties available are largely the same as the builtin uipanel object. Where more than one child is added, the currently visible child is determined using the SelectedChild property.
obj = uiextras.Panel( prop, value, ... )
also sets one or more property values.
