Hi Alex,
My bad, I was 'reading into' something which wasn't there.
Though I wonder, why do you need a graphic "theFrame", why not just
scale the image directly? I'm probably missing something here.
I do something similar, thought not the same, in my plugin,
"altImgViewer", I allow users to 'double-click' an image and display
it as large as it can be displayed inside a new window. I use the
previously mentioned function to get the image size, then check it
against the windowBoundingRect, then scale the window and the image
within the window, set the filename to the image and everything works
fine.
Seems redundant to use a 'frame' unless you're using it for visual
purposes.
My frame sits below a row of buttons for navigating between the various
jpgs in a folder, and above a status textArea, with an optional
additional EXIF info textArea on one side - so I'd have to do a bit of
calculation between the various controls surrounding it. It was easier
to just have some object there, let GM resize that for me, then use its
size.
I *should* use it for visual purposes as well - but I'm less visually
oriented than many (most?) of the people on this list; I'm much more of
a programmer than a graphics / GUI person, so the visual niceties
usually wait until the end (i.e. they get cut when I pass my deadline).
I've even been known to do the documentation before the graphic tidy-up :-)
