It would be nice to make that variable, eg my preference would be to have 10 symbols in one column. You already added a method setColumnWidth, but I don't see anything similar for the number of symbols. We should also be careful that we don't hard-code the dimensions of the column (and the overlay), because the user may want to change the fonttype and -size.</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">cheers,</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">- Koen.</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV> </BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR><DIV> <SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">***********************************</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Mek (Alexander Griekspoor)</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "> <SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="5"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px;"><B style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; ">Mek</SPAN></SPAN></B></SPAN></FONT><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#7F7F7F" size="5"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px;; color: rgb(127, 127, 127); "><B style="color: rgb(127, 127, 127); font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(127, 127, 127); font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(127, 127, 127); font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; ">en</SPAN></SPAN></B></SPAN></FONT><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="5"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px;"><B style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; ">Tosj</SPAN></SPAN></B></SPAN></FONT><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#7E7E7E" size="5"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px;; color: rgb(126, 126, 126); "><B style="color: rgb(126, 126, 126); font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(126, 126, 126); font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(126, 126, 126); font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; ">.</SPAN></SPAN></B></SPAN></FONT><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="5"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px;"><B style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; ">com</SPAN></SPAN></B></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Web: <A href="http://www.mekentosj.com">http://www.mekentosj.com</A></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Mail: <A href="mailto:mek@mekentosj.com">mek@mekentosj.com</A></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">***********************************</DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></SPAN></SPAN> </DIV><BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
