Re: Tk::pack help

You could do it with pack by putting cells A and C in a frame (and ->pack(-side=>'top') and cells B and D in a frame (and ->pack(-side=>'top'). Then the frames you would ->pack(-side=>'left').

That being said, merlyn is right. The grid geometry manager is better suited for such a layout.

The problem with the nested frames is that the widgets won't necessarily be aligned in the other direction. Hence, the grid manager. -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker Be sure to read my standard disclaimer if this is a reply.	[reply]

You are correct about that. However, before I was turned on to the grid and form geometry managers, I was able (with some difficulty and complexity) to get fairly decent grid layouts using pack. By all means, it is not the way to go and grid/form are the best options. davidj	[reply]
