[Libpapyrus-users] Boxed with a margin

[Rafael de P. S. <ra...@en...>]

Hi All,

This is my first message to this list and I have to say that Papyrus
is really a nice piece of software!

I'm playing with Papyrus as an alternative for the 2D canvas of our
project http://www.enq.ufrgs.br/trac/alsoc/wiki/EMSO

My first question is, how can I get a Boxed with a margin. If I put a
Text inside of a Boxed I get something like:
____
|Text|

But I looking form something like:
___________
|                    |
|     Text        |
|__________|

I've extended the Boxed and modified the extents() function to get
that, is this the better way to go?

Cheers.

Right now, that's probably the best. What we need is an alignment
controller with justification and padding.
