Re: When packing widgets, what is the difference between "box" and "table "

["Dov Grobgeld" <dov grobgeld gmail com>]

Box is one dimensional, either horizontal (hbox) or vertical (vbox)
and the widgets are packed in the beginning or the end of them.

Table is two dimensional and widgets are packed by specifying the
coordinates of the four sides to which the widget is to be attached.

You can also get two dimensions by recursively packing several boxes
inside one another, but it is not the same as a table, as the
constraints of a table is that all cells belonging to a column have
the same width AND all the cells belonging to  a row have the same
height.
