Try this goodie from the KSC archive.  Once installed, use it to generate a
array of relative Rectangles (origins and corners are points with coordinate
values between 0.0 and 1.0)

Add it to the Rectangle class.  This was originally written by Ken Auer (kwa)
while at KSC.


subDivideBy: aPoint
 "kwa -- 19 September 1989, Answer a collection of rectangles which
divide the receiver evenly into aPoint x columns and aPoint y rows.  Answer the
new rectangles left to right then down.  Yes, this method could be much
shorter, but I tried to minimize duplications of arithmetic for efficiency."
 "KSC Extension"
 "(0 at 0 corner: 100 at 100) subDivideBy: 4 at 2"
 "(0.0 at 0.0 corner: 1.0 at 1.0) subDivideBy: 3 at 1"   "<----- use something
like this to generate relative rectangles for subview layouts"
