[R] tcltk tkwidget(..."table")

[Dalthorp, Daniel]

Thanks, Peter.

I'm sure that's right, but it requires knowing: (1) that there's something
called the "width subcommand", and (2) how to format the call to that
command/subcommand.

I was able to do it eventually but only after a few hours of effort
searching the web for help.

E.g. with a table (called table1) with 3 columns and want to set widths to
30, 5, and 5:

colwidths<-c(30, 5, 5)

for(i in 1:3) {
  tcl(table1, "width", i - 1, colwidths[i])
}
