- I am trying to define a class Tab which would be used as
- a special Character and would be placed in an LRComposition
- with other Character instances (see src/examples/preview/main.c)
- Tab stops would be defined at specific horizontal locations.
-
- The problem is the width of a Tab instance is dependent on its
- Horizontal position in the LRComposition. For instance if a
- Tab is placed at 2 inch and the Tab instances location is 1.5 inch,
- the Tab's width would be (2 inch - 1.5 inch) = .5 inch.
-
- When the LRCompositor requests the Tab's width, via ::request,
- the horizontal location is unknown.
-
- Any feedback on how Tab could be implemented would be appreciated.
