Re: [platform-ui-dev] Perspective Layout

Dani,

Please post questions about the use of Eclipse UI (rather than its 
development) to the newsgroup so that others can participate in and 
benefit from the discussion.

The way it is intended to work is that the space currently assigned to the 
specified relative is split, giving the specified ratio of its current 
space to the new view.
Other views are not affected. 

So, if you want to have a one thirds / two thirds vertical split beween 
your views and the editor area, and then have the four views have equal 
width, the following should work.
layout.addView(VIEW_A_ID, IPageLayout.TOP,   (float)0.33, IPageLayout.ID_EDITOR_AREA);   // 1/3 of the height, full width
layout.addView(VIEW_B_ID, IPageLayout.RIGHT, (float)0.75, VIEW_A_ID);  // 3/4 of the width but the next two will take 2/4 away
layout.addView(VIEW_C_ID, IPageLayout.RIGHT, (float)0.66, VIEW_B_ID);  // 3/4 * 2/3 = 1/2
layout.addView(VIEW_D_ID, IPageLayout.RIGHT, (float)0.50, VIEW_C_ID); // split the remaining half evenly

I'm trying to create a perspective wit n views arranged horizontally, each 
view _same_ horizontal size. I did not understand the API documentation: 
 * @param ratio the amount of space donated to the new part, in the range 
 *        <code>0.05f</code> to <code>0.95f</code>; values outside this range 

To which view/space is this ratio related? Can I only control one 
dimension? 

Having 4 views I tried the following approach which does not give the 
desired result (it is more or less what I want but horizontal sizes are 
not equal). 

Assuming ratio is per page 
        layout.addView(VIEW_A_ID, IPageLayout.TOP,   (float)0.25, IPageLayout.ID_EDITOR_AREA); 
        layout.addView(VIEW_B_ID, IPageLayout.RIGHT, (float)0.25, VIEW_A_ID); 
        layout.addView(VIEW_C_ID, IPageLayout.RIGHT, (float)0.25, VIEW_B_ID); 
        layout.addView(VIEW_D_ID, IPageLayout.RIGHT, (float)0.25, VIEW_C_ID);
