BTW - wer are discussing here being able to fiddle really detailed values. that's great - but don't forget that sch an editor shoudl also know commonly useful layout scenarios, like make a new part and "put this part to the right of this other part, and keep it a fixed size" or "place this part between A and B and make it stretch" etc. etc. etc. - common layout scenarios that are a mattter of knowing the magic relative/offset, relative to(x/y) another part, min.max size, alignment etc. magic. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) [EMAIL PROTECTED] 裸好多 Tokyo, Japan (東京 日本) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
