Thanks for the comments!
I want to do something like this:
http://picasaweb.google.de/luecks/Python02#5218753591570350674
I have a long string (up to several thousand characters) and I want to split it
after certain length to have it convenient to look at. Thats why I need a
scrollbar, otherwise it will become terrible long and complicated to look at.
On certain positions of the string I want to draw an arrow under the string e.g.
arrow1 = test
arrow2 = what
This is a test string
>>>>
to show what I mean.
>>>>
Another problem is, that the arrow should be also splitted, if the string is at
a split position:
This is a split
>>>>>
ting example.
>>>>
On each arrow I want to add a menu for copy the string, name etc.
My program is ready for release, this would be just a very nice additional way
of showing my output data.
I think I'll release my program allready and think in quietness about this
problem.
Thanks for any advice!
