Re: Gtk::Box::pack_* members

[Bob Caryl <bob fis-cal com>]

I do not understand why this is so hard to understand.

Gtk::Box::pack_start begins inserting widgets into the box from the left 
in the order in which they are packed.  Hence using pack start with 
widgets 1,2, and 3 will end up with them displayed from left to right in 
that order.

1 2 3

Gtk::Box::pack_end begins inserting widgets from right to left in the 
order in which they are packed.  Hence using pack_end with widgets 1, 2, 
and 3 will end up with them displayed from  right to left in that order, 
i.e. 

3 2 1
