Hey People,
Curious if I get some reactions THIS time... I'm playing around with Adobe Flex at the moment and one feature stroke me as being realy usefull: containers. These containers are basically boxes, but they apply lay-out rules to the objects they contain. There is for example a Vbox and a Hbox, that align and distribute the objects they contain automatically in respectivaly vertical and a horizontal manner. There's also a grid container that tries to put its "children" in a grid of equal dimensions. Inkscape has already the posibility to allign, distribute and grid-allign objects, but if it could be done _automatically_ ? I have no idea about the SVG-specification, [...]
Its not exactly the same but maybe usefull though: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/coords.html#ViewBoxAttribute
This lay-out-container feature would be very practical in creating scheme's and such and GUI-mock ups.
GUI mockups why not use something like glade (http://glade.gnome.org/) ?
