FranTk: how to justify a widget collection?

2000-09-05 Thread Johannes Waldmann
I run FranTk with hugs. I want a `nabove' collection of widgets, each of them justified to the left; but the `above' combinator seems to center its arguments, regardless of their options (anchor, justify). Related question: I can set configuration options :: [ Conf w ] for each "explicit" widget

Hi Regarding the nabove question, if you use "packAnchor W" then it should align the widgets to the left. If this doesn't work then there is a bug. Let me know and I'll fix it. As far as giving configuration options to composite widgets. FranTk will eventually allow this, but does not do so at

Some questions about Monads

2000-09-05 Thread Diego Dainese
Hi all, I'm new to Haskell, and I've found its approach to imperative programming (monad) quite interesting; but there are some problems with this, partly already mentioned by Philip Wadler in his paper "How to Declare an Imperative": using his words, there no way to move smoothly from no monad
