Team, We need to decide how text is to be drawn and where various properties are stored. I see the following groupings: font_properties: contains everything needed to create a font, ie font_name style (normal,bold,italic,bold-italic) size rotation alignment: how to draw text in a rectangle horiz_justification (left, right, center - skip justified?) vert_justification: (top, bottom, center) So how do we accomplish the following things: - Allow the user to customize labels: alignment (maybe horizontal is enough) size, weight (not color or font name) rotation? a vertical label might prove useful in our apps... Do we want this type of control for other widgets? It seems to me that buttons, progress bars, etc. can have an adequate default and no customization. It might be nice for the edit_box to have alignment, and Marc's spreadsheet cells might as well. This is just meant to spark communication. So lets flesh out our requirements / wishlists / use case scenarios / etc. and *then* start talking implementation. Thanks Team! Darren
