[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Shell location problem

["Grant Gayed" <grant_gayed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know what a PlotRenderingDialog is, but for swt Shells one or more
of the following are helpful for cases like this:

- Shell.pack() makes a Shell lay out its widgets to their optimal sizes (so
no need to specify dimensions)
- Shell.setLocation() sets its location without specifying its dimensions
- Shell.computeSize(SWT.DEFAULT, SWT.DEFAULT) asks a Shell to return its
optimal dimensions based on its content

If none of these helps your case then PlotRenderingDialog may be lacking
some API or functionality to do what you want.
