Steve: thanks for the reply, which
addresses one of my questions.
However, I already was using a small abbreviation
for the header and when first started all of the columns are the same narrow
width. As I change things in the formulas (but NOT in the AddColumn lines), and
then run the Explore again and again, the columns unexpectedly get WIDER.
Why do they arbitrarily get wider and what
can I do to prevent them from changing in width---esp when I have not done
anything to cause them to change?
Any help on this aspect? Ever experienced
it?
Ken

Width Control
Hi Ken,
Column width is determined by the width of the header. To
make it wider, you can pad the header name with spaces:
addcolumn( array, "
my wide
column
" );
To make it thinner, you must abbreviate the header.
Sometimes, if you change the order of the columns somehow,
the width wont fit anymore. You can reset them by cicking scan, then
explore again - this will reset the width to match the current column headers.
Addcolumn will accept a variable for the name, but the
variable must have a string assigned to it or you will get an error message.

Width Control
All:
Is there any way to control the width of columns using AddColumn in Explore
mode. I have experimented with the format suggested in the help file of
AddColumn(variable,"-13",5.0);
Where
the 5.0 is said to "pad" in 5 spaces.
However,
nothing changes even if I change 5 to 20.
The
second observation about this AA display is that the first time I run the code,
the column widths are narrow and seemingly the most narrow given the data they
hold.
Each
time I run the code after some change unrelated to the AddColumn statements,
the column width grows mysteriously, up to some maximum. (see below)
Needless to say, this spreads out the width of the entire display.
May
I ask if the following two adjustments are possible:
Direct
control over column width.
Putting
a variable in the column HEADING (such as a date that changes) vs just text.
A
picture of what I am trying to use is shown below. Notice the various widths
which occur randomly.
Any
comments?
Ken
