Force Sizing on Form (Layout??)


Message 1 in thread

I am designing a form that will fit nicely into a 2x2 square, the 
objects in row 1 cols 1 & 2, and in row 2, col 1 being the same 
graphical plotting objects, but in position row 2 col 2 is a group box.
I want to force the 3 graphing objects to always be the same size, but 
allow them to expand. I have to admit I do not fully understand the 
settings in layouts, "Preferred", "Minimum". "maximum", etc. I can never 
seem to get my objects to behave using those specifiers, i generally 
leave these options at their default of "Preferred"

Are there tricks to forcing similar objects to be same size? Some 
combination of other settings?

Put the widgets in a QGridLayout, and set all of their size policies to
"Ignored". This should cause the grid to divide the space evenly between
them.
