[Qt-interest] How to layout with width-for-height ?

[Martin Schröer]

Hey Bill.

I was also struggling with an issue similar to yours.
In short words: i gave up looking a solution that
uses width-for-height and started implementing
a custom layout instead.

[Which is no problem at all, as layouts can be nested.]

Implementing such layout is also not too difficult at all,
all you'd have to do is to implement some methods
using default values and setGeometry() to your needs.

FYI: I had a video widget inside some other widgets
and i wanted to have it scale in aspect - unsolvable
using the default layout types.

I can send you the source to my layout implementation
if that would be of any help to you.
