I've been trying that out: http://dto.qwsi.net/octalstuff/new_shot7.jpg A docking arrangement kind of lets you put the controls where you want, or stack them (that's the default.) This might not be the best way to do it of course, but I thought I'd throw the screenshot at you so you could see how it looks. This next shot shows a bit more of the widget options: http://dto.qwsi.net/octalstuff/minishot.jpg Of course that was a few months ago, the GUI code is probably going to go through some changes soon. For instance, a plugin with many parameters may need to group them by category, and for instance I may have different notebook tabs for the different categories. -- @@@ david o'toole @@@ [EMAIL PROTECTED] @@@ www.gnu.org/software/octal
