Thumbnails viewed vertically in ViewPart [message #187684]

I've looked around for examples and such but have yet to find anything
related to what I want to do: create a view (extending ViewPart) that has
thumbnails listed vertically, so that they are selectable--much like in
Acrobot or PowerPoint. What would be the best way to do this? I checked
out the overview code from the logic designer, but it only has one
thumbnail being set to the contents of the canvas. How the thumbnails are
created is not of priority right now. I just want to know how to
accomplish this with ease. Thanks!

You want to display a list of Images? You could use an SWT Table and call
TableItem.setImage(thumbnailImage)

Thanks Randy, that seems to have it. The problem I'm having now is setting
the thumbnail. TableItem.setImage only takes an Image, not a draw2d
Thumbnail. Any way of easily getting an image from the thumbnail?

I was ignoring that part since you said "how the thumbnails are created is
not a priority right now". Painting to an image has been discussed before.
You can look at the thumbnail implementation for an idea.
