I want a 23\*36 grid and the ability to put widgets at a specified  
location (row/column). I’ve been searching for a while now and I still  
can’t find any clear documentation.

Can somebody help please?  
Regards

## For example,

require ‘tk’

base = TkFrame.new.pack(:expand=\>true, :fill=\>:both)

TkGrid.rowconfigure(base, 0, ‘weight’=\>1, ‘minsize’=\>0)  
TkGrid.columnconfigure(base, 0, ‘weight’=\>1, ‘minsize’=\>0)

c = TkCanvas.new(base).grid(:row=\>0, :column=\>0, :sticky=\>‘news’)  
c.xscrollbar TkScrollbar.new(base).grid(:row=\>1, :column=\>0,  
:sticky=\>‘ew’)  
c.yscrollbar TkScrollbar.new(base).grid(:row=\>0, :column=\>1,  
:sticky=\>‘ns’)

cwin = TkcWindow.new(c, [0, 0], :window=\>(f = TkFrame.new(c)),  
:anchor=\>:nw)  
f.bind(‘Configure’){ c.scrollregion = cwin.bbox }

23.times{|x|  
36.times{|y|  
TkButton.new(f,:text=\>“#{x}x#{y}”).grid(:column=\>y,:row=\>x,:sticky=\>‘news’)  
}  
}

Tk.mainloop
