Re[2]: [Dynapi-Widgetdev] Buffer widget for loadpanel

[Robert R. <rra...@ya...>]

What would be even better would be a generic buffer extension that
would add methods to the DynLayer that would let you add buffers to
the layer.  I'm sure it could be done, although not very easily.  This
way you could add spacing for all layers, not just loadpanels.
