Definitive guide to sizing and positioning Morphs?

Can some kind soul please point me to a useful reference 
for understanding how to control nested morph sizing and 
placement (particularly for AlignmentMorph and subclasses 
based upon it)?

Example problems:

   1. Construct a resizable box that will contain 
      several other morphs.  Place a morphic "color 
      bar" across the top such that its height is 
      always 10% of the total height of the containing 
      box.

   2. Construct a resizable box containing two 
      "row" morphs.  The top row is to contain 
      three buttons (morphs) labelled "left," 
      "middle," and "right" -- one flush left, 
      one centered, and one flush right.

How does a Morphic Wizard approach such problems?  Which 
sizing and positioning tools are the equivalent of a 
handyman's level, square, hammer, screwdriver, baling wire, 
and duct tape?

Has anyone already summarized this somewhere?

Blessings!
