Widget_base woes [message #46451]

I'm going crazy trying to lay out a bunch of widgets. The problem is that I
am having trouble getting the widget_base() commands done in such a way that
the widgets appear where I want. I think part of my problem is in trying to
sort out what the row and column keywords really mean.

Here is roughly what I want:

2 512x512 draw widgets across the top (the second with scroll bars),
followed by a third tall, skinny draw widget with scroll bars that will be
the full extent of the entire widget frame.

Below the left draw widgets, I want four cw_fsliders.

Below that, I want two columns of four widget sliders.

To the right of that, I want a set of buttons.

I get get pretty much everything working EXCEPT that I can't seem to figure
out how to have the long, skinny vertical draw widget to the right of
everything else.

I'm not asking someone to do the design for me, but I would appreciate some
hints on how to set up the successive hierarchy of widget_base calls so that
I can deterministically figure out where the widgets will go, instead of
blindly setting column=2 or row=1 and hoping for the best.

Thanks for any insight you can provide into this. I can't use the GUI
builder since it exists only on Windows now.
