--- An auto-resized, free floating or modal wibox built around a widget.
--
-- This type of widget box (wibox) is auto closed when being clicked on and is
-- automatically resized to the size of its main widget.
--
-- Note that the widget itself should have a finite size. If something like a
-- `wibox.layout.flex` is used, then the size would be unlimited and an error
-- will be printed. The `wibox.layout.fixed`, `wibox.container.constraint`,
-- `forced_width` and `forced_height` are recommended.
--
--@DOC_awful_popup_simple_EXAMPLE@
--
-- Here is an example of how to create an alt-tab like dialog by leveraging
-- the `awful.widget.tasklist`.

--- Set the preferred popup position relative to its parent.
--
-- This allows, for example, to have a submenu that goes on the right of the
-- parent menu. If there is no space on the right, it tries on the left and so
-- on.
--
-- Valid directions are:
--
-- * left
-- * right
-- * top
-- * bottom
--
-- The basic use case for this method is to give it a parent wibox:
--
-- @DOC_awful_popup_position1_EXAMPLE@
--
-- As demonstrated by this second example, it is also possible to use a widget
-- as a parent object:
--
-- @DOC_awful_popup_position2_EXAMPLE@
--
-- @property preferred_positions
-- @tparam table|string preferred_positions A position name or an ordered
--  table of positions
-- @see awful.placement.next_to
-- @see awful.popup.preferred_anchors

--- Set the preferred popup anchors relative to the parent.
--
-- The possible values are:
--
-- * front
-- * middle
-- * back
--
-- For details information, see the `awful.placement.next_to` documentation.
--
-- In this example, it is possible to see the effect of having a fallback
-- preferred anchors when the popup would otherwise not fit:
--
-- @DOC_awful_popup_anchors_EXAMPLE@
--
-- @property preferred_anchors
-- @tparam table|string preferred_anchors Either a single anchor name or a table
--  ordered by priority.
-- @see awful.placement.next_to

--- The current position relative to the parent object.
--
-- If there is a parent object (widget, wibox, wibar, client or the mouse), then
-- this property returns the current position. This is determined using
-- `preferred_positions`. It is usually the preferred position, but when there
-- isn't enough space, it can also be one of the fallback.

--
-- If there is a parent object (widget, wibox, wibar, client or the mouse), then

-- parent object on which the popup is based on. It will "grow" in the
-- opposite direction from the anchor.
