Question on InterViews 3.0 Requisitions: If a TBBox contains 3 Glyphs with the following requisitions: LB: natural = 12.48, stretch = 0, shrink = 0 G: natural = 50, stretch = 1e+13, shrink = 0 LE: natural = 12.48, stretch = 0, shrink = 0 then why does the TBBox request: B: natural = 74.96, stretch = 0, shrink = 0 I would have expected stretch to be 1e+13 -- that is, the sum of the stretchabilities. If I include only Glyph G in the TBBox B, then it requests: B: natural = 50, stretch = 1e+13, shrink = 0 as I would expect. From these two examples, it appears stretch of a TBBox is the min of its components stretch's. Is this correct? If so, why? Given that, how do I compose the following: +-------------------------------------+ <----+ | fixed height | | +-------------------------------------+ | | | | | variable height (varies as outer | resizable height | box is resized) | | +-------------------------------------+ | | fixed height | | +-------------------------------------+ <----+ Thanks for any help. --------------------------------- Brian M.
