Folks,
I would like to make the cell width in a Widget_Table vary according to the size
of the font I am using. So far I can't get IDL to change the cell width by
changing the keywords SCR_XSIZE, XSIZE, VALUE, FORMAT, or FONT. I observe this
behavior in IDL 5.3 on both OpenVMS and Windows NT platforms.
What am I doing wrong?

Uh, I think I would try the COLUMN_WIDTHS keyword. :-)
Cheers,
David
P.S. Let's just say your guess is as good as mine when
it comes to what *value* you should use. Here is where
good ol' fashion voodoo comes into play. :-)

This is what happens when you try to finish a one year project in a long weekend
:-(
Many thanks, David.
