checkbox. Unlike GadTools, GA_Height and GA_Width DO NOT specify
the checkbox size, but rather the entire hit box area which
includes the text label. The checkbox will maintain its aspect
ratio when possible.
Advantages that this class provides over the standard gadtools
checkbox are:
> Supports window relativity.
> Ability to change background pen, text pen, and filltext pen.
> Larger selection area, includes text label area.
> Supports OS 3.0 BOOPSI Gadget HelpTest.
> Aspect adaptive checkbox for any resolution and font.
