Hi Michael,

Maybe you will have a look at the following sample code and image. It was
the starting
point for morphic-windows totally build from morphs. File in the code in a
2.8/2.9alpha
image and evaluate:

	1. SampleWindow example
	2. DocumentMorph new openInWorld

The layout of both examples is defined using Frame matrixes - an easy way to
define 
how child's will behave if you resize a window. If you wanna create a GUI
Builder 
you should use this concept - it is flexible and easy maintainable.

A frame matrix has a scale array and an offset array. If the scale array
contains
zeros the layout is fixed and the offset array represents the position in
client 
coordinates.
	(FrameMatrix scale: #(0 0 0 0 ) offset: #(1 1 20 20 )).

The scale is given in percent, for instance
	(FrameMatrix scale: #(0 0 1000 0 ) offset: #(2 1 -1 20 )).
means the child's top corner is x=2, y=1. The bottom is fixed at: 20 and it
scales for 100% with the left side of the owner.

Hope the FM code (or some of the morphs) is usefull for someone.

Bye
Torsten

BTW: Don't get confused by the name of the changeset. ;)

Anytime now, a first draft of some documentation is at:

http://ifsl.mb.uni-magdeburg.de/~michael/gui/index.htm

I hope to work out most of the issues tomorrow and also release the
code.

Michael
