Perspective extension view placement [message #302923]

I would like to have my view placed so that it spans the entire bottom
of the workbench window. If I define it as relative to the bottom of
the org.eclipse.ui.editorss then it just is at the bottom of the editor
folder area. How do I get it to be at the bottom of the window?

Thanks,
Keith

Also, is there anyway when specifying that a view should be "fast" to
also specify the orientation? I would like it to be horizontal rather
than vertical.

Thanks again,
Keith

The view will only take up space of an existing <something> (editor area
or other views). The only way to get a view all the way across the
window is for it to be one of the first to "split" an area.

That means in a perspectiveExtension, you can only span the bottom if
something already spans the entire window.

I couldn't find any API to do this, so there's no obvious way.
