/**
* The {@code CheckboxGroup} class is used to group together
* a set of {@code Checkbox} buttons.
* <p>
* Exactly one check box button in a {@code CheckboxGroup} can
* be in the "on" state at any given time. Pushing any
* button sets its state to "on" and forces any other button that
* is in the "on" state into the "off" state.
* <p>
* The following code example produces a new check box group,
* with three check boxes:
*
* <hr><blockquote><pre>
* setLayout(new GridLayout(3, 1));
* CheckboxGroup cbg = new CheckboxGroup();
* add(new Checkbox("one", cbg, true));
* add(new Checkbox("two", cbg, false));
* add(new Checkbox("three", cbg, false));
* </pre></blockquote><hr>
* <p>
* This image depicts the check box group created by this example:
* <p>
* <img src="doc-files/CheckboxGroup-1.gif"
* alt="Shows three checkboxes, arranged vertically, labeled one, two, and three. Checkbox one is in the on state."
* style="float:center; margin: 7px 10px;">
