aligning tables -Reply

This sounds great, especially if you needed to offset the first column,
where it sounds as though you don't have this capability currently.

Eric,

As you know, TableCells get told their start offset by the TableRow
calling
cell.setStartOffset(widthOfCellsSoFar)

What if TableRow had a field "firstColumnOffset"?
TableRow would then call cell.setStartOffset(firstColumnOffset +
widthOfCellsSoFar)

TableRow could have a method "setFirstColumnOffset" called by
TableBody.
TableBody could also have a method "setFirstColumnOffset" called by
Table.

I can implement this and put it in CVS if you (or others) think it is a good
idea (although only Eric may know the layout code well enough to
understand
what I am talking about! :-)

James
