Hi,
I have an interesting challenge. I need to pack a set of rectangular
widgets in a T-like fashion, like so (each widget here a string of 5 X's):
X X
X X
XXXXXXX
X X
X X
XXXXX
In other words, when a horizontal widget is packed against another
horizontal widget, it is pretty straightforward. Likewise for a vertical
widget against another vertical widget. But if I pack a horizonatal
widget against a vertical widget, I want the short edge centered against
the long edge, and I want all the widgets to maintain their aspect ratio.
If I start with, say, 3 of these widgets, I can come up with a set of
embedded vboxes and hboxes that will do the trick, but if I want to keep
adding additional widgets the layout becomes infinitely more
complicated. I just can't think of any way to do it other then using a
GtkFixed container, but that tends to be frowned on.
Can anybody think of anything I might be missing?
-Chris
