How can I pack this so it looks like this.

## [New Sprite [-][+][x]]

| Width: [] |  
| Height: [] |

* * *

dialogBox = TkToplevel.new(‘title’=\>‘New Sprite’)  
frame = TkFrame.new(dialogBox).pack(‘fill’=\>‘both’)

widthLabel = TkLabel.new(frame, ‘text’=\>'Width: ')  
widthEntry = TkEntry.new(frame)  
widthEntry.value = 32  
heightLabel = TkLabel.new(frame, ‘text’=\>'Height: ')  
heightEntry = TkEntry.new(frame)  
heightEntry.value = 32

Please read a Tcl/Tk’s document about the rule of ‘pack’ geometry  
manager or ‘grid’ geometry manager.

--------\< example 1 \>---------------------------------------  
dialogBox = TkToplevel.new(:title=\>‘New Sprite’)  
frame = TkFrame.new(dialogBox).pack(:fill=\>‘both’)

f\_width = TkFrame.new(frame).pack  
widthLabel = TkLabel.new(f\_width, :text=\>'Width: ').pack(:side=\>:left)  
widthEntry = TkEntry.new(f\_width).pack(:side=\>:left)  
widthEntry.value = 32

## f\_height = TkFrame.new(frame).pack heightLabel = TkLabel.new(f\_height, :text=\>'Height: ').pack(:side=\>:left) heightEntry = TkEntry.new(f\_height).pack(:side=\>:left) heightEntry.value = 32

--------\< example 2 \>---------------------------------------  
dialogBox = TkToplevel.new(:title=\>‘New Sprite’)  
frame = TkFrame.new(dialogBox).pack(:fill=\>‘both’)

widthLabel = TkLabel.new(frame, :text=\>'Width: ')  
widthEntry = TkEntry.new(frame)  
widthEntry.value = 32  
Tk.grid(widthLabel, widthEntry)

heightLabel = TkLabel.new(frame, :text=\>'Height: ')  
heightEntry = TkEntry.new(frame)  
heightEntry.value = 32  
Tk.grid(heightLabel, heightEntry)
