Hello,

I’m using QT with 3 tabs. The first two tabs have only 4 plots on each  
of  
them that fit nicely into the window. On the third tab, I have a lot of  
plots that I place all in one column.

The third tab effects the layout size of all the other tabs, making it  
all  
look horrible and difficult to make sense of. Is there a way of  
preventing  
the sizing of one tab from effecting everything else?

I’m aware of the gui\_hint control of the form tab@X:[row col rowspan  
colspan]. Is there a way of getting more control then this?

Thanks,  
Rich
