- The object in question is SUMatrix and allows for full Matrix functionality
- combined with variable size row heights, or column widths.
-
- Note that the whole thing must still fit into a rectangle, so you
- can get something like this:

- The object is really cool (if I do say so myself) and has great
- potential for reusability (shameless plug).
-
- We offer binary and source code distribution, example code, and
- full 2.0 style and 3.0 style documentation. I can't post pricing
- as that's not allowed, but if you want to see the examples and/or
- get a copy of the documentation, then let me know.
-
- The company is Solutions Unlimited, and you can either send me
- e-mail at samurai@uriel.cs.mcgill.ca, or to darcy@solutions.ca,
- and ask for info.
