Re: New grid item added

[Brandon Lewis <brandon_lewis berkeley edu>]

The goocanvas Table is a layout container that happens to draw grid lines. The 
goocanvas Grid is a rectangular object whose sole purpose is to draw grid lines 
at regular intervals (for things like graphs, or maybe drawing programs). The 
goocanavs Table draws the lines in between table cells, which are potentially of 
varying widths and heights....
