Set to Size of a Previous Gadget

A new gadget's size component can be set to the size of any previously placed gadget, for example:

frame fr1 |Frame 1| ... Width.gad6 Height

This sets the width of fr1 to that of gad6, and its height to that of the last (most recently placed) gadget.

Note:
When setting the width of a gadget with a displayed in-line tag, you are setting the width of the interactor, i.e. the gadget excluding the tag, which is sized separately.

Note:
When setting the width to that of a gadget with a displayed in-line tag, the width retrieved is that of the interactor, i.e. the gadget excluding any tag width.
All gadgets have a TAG attribute, which may be set in the gadget definition or modified after the gadget definition is complete. The gadget size depends on the tag's existence, whether the tag is displayable, and the tag's value at the time of definition.

The following table categorizes the gadgets and explains the effect of Width, Height and TagWidth settings. It also specifies whether gadget scroll bars are within the defined gadget size or additional to it.

The form !!tagDisplay (file tagDisplay.pmlfrm) illustrates the information given in the table, and shows how the default auto-placement position for the first gadget in a frame depends on the tag text.
