Does anyone have a straightforward method for handling re-sizing of
draw widgets (in particular scrollable widgets with a viewport
smaller than the actual image) under UNIX. In particular, I want to be able
to automatically deal with a user resizing the widget base that
the draw widget is sitting on. I want my IDL base widgets to
be fixed (where the user cannot change the size), and the draw widgets
to either be fixed in size, or to automatically resize the viewport.
I've tried using the TLB_FRAME_ATTR keyword when creating the base
widgets, but it has no effect on my system (Solaris 2.4, IDL 4.0.1)
Suggestions greatly appreciated.

The success or failure of the TLB_FRAME_ATTR keyword is dependant on
the windowing system you are using, not the operating system per se.
I am using X11R6 with fvwm as my window manager, on both SunOS 4.1.3
and Solaris 2.5, and it works just fine. It would not surprise me if
it didnt work as advertised under OpenWindows. I have not tried it
under the Solaris CDE implementation yet. I seem to recall that it
also worked under mwm (Motif). Of course, I have not used Solaris 2.4,
so its possible that version of Solaris does something nasty.
By the way, hi David :)
