all pyVCP widgets are inherited from Tkinter widgets. That means that all options that work with Tkinter widgets will work with pyVCP. There's a Tkinter documentation at: http://www.pythonware.com/library/tkinter/introduction/index.htm with a little practice, you can probably make your numbers very big in some strange font, bold italic underlined and purple colored if you like :) anyway, here is the solution to font size and number formatting: To change the font size, you would add <font>('Helvetica',40)</font> or any bigger number you wish to change the number formatting: <format>"+4.3f"</format> or any other C-style format string you like (a Python reference will tell you how these are written) so in total your number would look like: <number> <font>('Helvetica',40)</font> <format>"+4.3f"</format> </number> hope this helps, AW ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
