Thanks. It's getting there. I'm about ready to start calling povray 
again. Determining cwd was tricky.

Working out the tri-statedness was a bitch too.  (A field is 
on/off/undefined).  I started writing my original post because I 
couldn't figure out how to represent that.  Before I pressed send, I 
figured out to hide the checkbox/spinner for undefined and then click 
the label to enable the field. Clickable labels is not really an 
industry standard gui op, but then, for tri-state, what is?  A checkbox 
has a standard (check/uncheck/grey filled) but a spinner or text field 
does not.
Another option would have been a right-click menu to enable/disable a 
field, but that was a lot more work. :)

Java GridLayout. Define a 2x2 grid and then add your 4 Widgets in order 
[2], so they end up in the right place. There is a Border object that 
decorates the border of the grid. I thought I'd inherit the eclipse 
default, but apparently not. Hopefully it's just a matter of finding the 
PrettyBorder flag in the constructor. ;)

This is what I'm excited for. A modern editor that I can ctrl-click a 
label and go to that definition (or hover over a label and quick-see the 
definition).  Markus did a ton of great work on povclipse. It just needs 
a small lorryload of polish.

[2] Another bitch.  My first tab, "Overview" wants to reference the 
other tabs that haven't been created yet.
