Re: Resizing an image widget

[LaundroMat <laundro gmail com>]

I realise I wasn' t too clear in my mail.

The thing is, I have a window with essentially 3 boxes:

A B C

A = image
B = labels
C = text entry

The height of B (and C for that matter) is smaller than that of A. But
I would like to resize A to the height of C.
