Just curious about special char with grid manager:
On Tcl/Tk:
grid .a - -
grid ^ .b x
This first line of TCL could translate on Ruby/Tk as:
Tk.grid a, '-', '-' # a.path == '.a'
There is no way to tranlate the second line without using any
:row, :column, :rowspan, coloumnspan.
Because TkGrid.configure want the first parameter is *win*.
So, grid manager with relative placement on Ruby/Tk works only when
the "first" is *win*.
Is this right or do we have other trick for it ?
Thanks.

I do not know, but I use a wrapper function for building grids:
# Building a GUI with the Grid Geometry Manager.
# widgets: Array of Arrays of widgets (and sticky info) (arrays are
the rows,
# widgets in the arrays are the cells)
# widgethash: if nil, then <<widgets>> contain TkWindow objects. If
not nil,
# then <<widgethash>> is a hash of widgets, and <<widgets>> contains
the keys in widgethash.
# common: hash of common options to every widgets.
def buildSimpleGrid(widgets,widgethash=nil,common={})
rowspan={} # A '^' widgetek rowspan-t jelentenek, mint a tk grid
parancsnál
widgets.each_with_index {|row,i|
colspan=[nil,1] # A '-' widgetek colspan-t jelentenek, mint a tk
grid parancsnál
row.each_with_index {|cell,j|
if cell.respond_to? :shift
widget=cell.shift; sticky=cell.shift; sticky='nw' if
sticky.nil? # default
opts=cell.shift
else
widget=cell; sticky='nw' # default
end
if widget=='-'
colspan[1]+=1
colspan[0].grid_config('columnspan',colspan[1])
#~ debug "colspan: widget #{colspan[0].to_eval}, colspan
#{colspan[1]}"
next
elsif widget=='^' # rowspan
raise "buildSimpleGrid problem!" if !rowspan[j] ||
!rowspan[j][0]
rowspan[j][1]+=1
rowspan[j][0].grid_config('rowspan',rowspan[j][1])
next
elsif widget=='x'
next
else
widget=widgethash[widget] if !widgethash.nil?
end
h=common.dup.update({"row"=>i,"column"=>j,"sticky"=>sticky})
h.update(opts) if !opts.nil?
widget.grid(h)
colspan[0]=widget; colspan[1]=1
rowspan[j]=; rowspan[j] << widget; rowspan[j] << 1
}
}
end
And you can use it like this:
tmpgrid=[
[[widget_1_1,'e'], [widget_1_2,'ew'],'-'],
[[widget_23_1,'e'], [widget_2_23,'ew']],
['^',[widget_3_2,'w'],[widget_3_3,'w']]
]
buildSimpleGrid(tmpgrid,nil,{'in'=>parentFrame})
I wrote the example by hand; I hope it is understandable.
The numbers in the end of the widget names mean the rows and
columns where the given widget will appear.
Hereby I place this piece of code in public domain.
Just do not patent it!

No. TkGrid supports them. Please try the following.

Hmmm.....
I tried Tcl/Tk8.3. It seems a bug on Tcl/Tk8.3.
Tcl/Tk8.3 accepts "grid ^ ...", but doesn't accept "grid configure ^ ...".
It should work and return the same result (at least, based on the
Tcl/Tk's manual).
I'll make patch for Tcl/Tk8.3 later. Please wait for it.

I'd applied the following patch. But I cannot rescue the bug on
"TkGrid.configure( c , 'x', '^', :sticky=>'news')",
because Tcl/Tk8.3 cannot accept both of "grid .c x ^ " and
"grid configure .c x ^ ".
That is a bug on Tcl/Tk8.3.
The cost to rescue the bugs is probably too large.
Please take that is a constraint of using Tcl/Tk8.3.
