Hi,

I have been looking at implementing computeSize in GeoMap, so it "grabs" more space than the minimum when there are no constraints. I test it by creating an anonymous subclass in GeoMapViewer's constructor. First I tried

        public GeoMapViewer(Composite parent, int flags) {
                this(new GeoMap(parent, flags) {
                        @Override
                        public Point computeSize(int wHint, int hHint, boolean 
changed) {
                                int w = (wHint != SWT.DEFAULT ? wHint : 
Integer.MAX_VALUE);
                                int h = (hHint != SWT.DEFAULT ? hHint : 
Integer.MAX_VALUE);
                                return new Point(w, h);
                        }
                });
        }

The idea is to indicate that ideally GeoMap wants as much space as possible. I was pretty surprised that the wish for Integer.MAX_VALUE width and height was granted, in the sense that getSize() reported these dimensions not that the layout actually gave it that much space. This gave problems in the paint method, so I reduced the value from Integer.MAX_VALUE to 256 * 8.

Two question:
- (how) can the computeSize method say that it wants as much as possible, but can accept nothing? - why isn't the size returned by getSize() actually reduced to the visible size instead of the value asked for by computeSize?
