If you want it to be a ratio, not an absolute size, the number has to be less than 1 (i.e. 0.2 == 20%). If it is greater than 1, it is taken as an absolute size, and as such expected to be an integer. So what you specified is the bar size to be exactly 20 characters. Anyway, I rewrote the formatting code (it took me a while, because I am somewhat busy at my work now), and I will upload the new package as soon as I manage to get to ftp-master (currently has some connection problems, it seems). In the meantime, you can get the package from http://kassiopeia.juls.savba.sk/~garabik/software/pydf/ Now the sizes in the configuration file are just lower size limits - if possible, the columns will stretch dynamically to accommodate the contents. I agree about the intuitiveness of the configuration file, I'll try to think about a better way. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- | Radovan Garabík http://kassiopeia.juls.savba.sk/~garabik/ | | __..--^^^--..__ garabik @ kassiopeia.juls.savba.sk | ----------------------------------------------------------- Antivirus alert: file .signature infected by signature virus.
