Hi again.

I was wondering how I would implement a scrolling graphic area, either
with it's own scroll bars (like a browser) or with a seperate area using a
positioner (which is what I like better because I can display a reduced image
of the map and the crosshairs show wharea you are looking at nicely (assuming I
can put an image behind the crosshairs, of course)). The area inside the box is
not text however, but seperate "cells" or sectors of a map that will be
seperate pixmaps.
For instance, if the map was displaying a 10x10 area there would be
10x10 individual pixmaps (70% of which will usually be empty space).
Additionally I want to be able to let people click on one of the sectors to
select it.
Any pointers?

Marisa
