Subject: Aribtrary positioning of displayed flow objects From: pandeng@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Steve Schafer) Date: Tue, 24 Mar 1998 20:28:32 GMT |
I need to position various displayed flow objects (in my case, tables) in fairly arbitrary ways. In particular, the objects need to partially overlap in either the filling or placement directions (not both at the same time). Consider the "worst case" example below (you'll need to use a fixed-pitch font for the picture to make sense): AAAAA AAAAA BBBBB AAAAA BBBBB BBBBB CCCCC CCCCC DDDDD CCCCC DDDDD DDDDD where the block of A's represents one table, the block of B's another, and so on. With judicious selection of column and row heights, and spanning cells across columns and rows, I can achieve this by using a "meta-table" that encloses the entire block of tables. I'm just wondering if there is a better way. -Steve DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
