Hi
Thanks. I have mucked around in vpTree structures and discovered its
actually quite easy to specify children so I have changed my example
so that instead of naming the children of 'layout' and then remembering
coordinates linked to the names of the children of 'layout' in
the 'coords' structure (which really just duplicates state information
already available in grid) it simply follows the order
of the children of 'layout' directly. This permits elimination of 'coords'
and the two naming functions. Using the depth approach you advocate,
'with' also becomes shorter and I think I have it to the point where it works
with both vpPath and viewport classes. Once Deepayan implements
the use.viewport= argument to print, 'with' can be eliminated too. No
questions this time but I thought I would post the latest version for
completeness. Regards.
Ok. I can see this working ... for now. The disadvantage with this
approach is that it makes use of the undocumented, internal structure of
a viewport tree to grab a list of child viewports. A worse example of
the same thing is that the with() methods make use of a happy
coincidence that both viewport objects and viewport path objects share a
component called "name" (and an even happier coincidence that they
contain the same information). I think it would be cleaner and better
practice, despite requiring longer code, to make use of the documented
interface which requires specifying viewport names and viewport paths.
The internal structure of objects is not guaranteed to be stable.

children of 'layout' and the rest is new]
