Here's an interesting question... does there somewhere exist a widget that allows one to make arbitrary (N-of-many) selections from a grid? I'm thinking of something with functionality similar to the 'bitmap' editor; that is, a matrix of arbitrary size with elements that are either on or off. Hopefully it would be intuitive to use; if you clicked on an element that was 'off', it would change to 'on', with similar support for a 'drag' function (to turn many elements in a rectangular area on or off). For instance, say one wished to cross-index MoTuWeThFrSaSu with hours, and be able to arbitrarily select any combination of days/hours... Does anything like this exist? If not, I'll probably end up writing it; anyone have any suggestions as to functionality or implementation?
