/**
 * A check box is a graphical component that can be in either an
 * "on" (<code>true</code>) or "off" (<code>false</code>) state.
 * Clicking on a check box changes its state from
 * "on" to "off," or from "off" to "on."
 * <p>
 * The following code example creates a set of check boxes in
 * a grid layout:
 * <p>
 * <hr><blockquote><pre>
 * setLayout(new GridLayout(3, 1));
 * add(new Checkbox("one", null, true));
 * add(new Checkbox("two"));
 * add(new Checkbox("three"));
 * </pre></blockquote><hr>
 * <p>
 * This image depicts the check boxes and grid layout
 * created by this code example:
 * <p>
 * <img src="doc-files/Checkbox-1.gif" alt="The following context describes the graphic."
 * ALIGN=center HSPACE=10 VSPACE=7>
 * <p>
 * The button labeled <code>one</code> is in the "on" state, and the
 * other two are in the "off" state. In this example, which uses the
 * <code>GridLayout</code> class, the states of the three check
 * boxes are set independently.
 * <p>
 * Alternatively, several check boxes can be grouped together under
 * the control of a single object, using the
 * <code>CheckboxGroup</code> class.
 * In a check box group, at most one button can be in the "on"
 * state at any given time. Clicking on a check box to turn it on
 * forces any other check box in the same group that is on
 * into the "off" state.
