[REBOL] Layout/Pane

From: ammonjohnson::yahoo at: 5-Nov-2001 20:03

Hi, If you have noticed that when you use the layout function on a block of VID data, it returns a face inside of a face in order to work with Origins, 7 offsets. This is not always desirable. Sometimes I want just the contents not the contents wrapped in a face. The problem with 'wraping' it is that if you want to use the face in multiple places at the same time, REBOL throws a fit. The cure is simple, but it requires the use of an extra variable. I propose that REBOL add a /Pane refinement to the Layout function. This refinement would return the contents of the pane that layout would create. See below ;this is the current method of doing it. a: layout [b: box 220x220 c:box 220x220 d: box 220x220] ;the main layout e: layout [text "Testing"] ; the face to put in the main layout. b/pane: c/pane: d/pane: make c/pane [] ; the new way! a: layout [ style testing box 220x220 with [ pane: make layout/pane [text "Testing" ] testing testing testing ] Any thoughts? Enjoy!! Ammon
