Is it possible to set an individual column in a TkTable to be a
different width than the default?

I'm looking at http://tcl.activestate.com/community/hobbs/tcl/. It
looks like I should be able to do something like

@table.tag_col('WideCol', 2)
@table.width('WideCol', 20)

Which would tag the second column with 'WideCol' and then set all
columns that are tagged with 'WideCol' to width 20. But #width() just
wants one argument, although the tcl docs look like it can support
more.

Thanks,
Joe

Actually, what I'd really like to have is the ability for each TkTable
columns to stretch out to fit their biggest member.

Ah, just figured it out.

@table.set_width([1, 18], [3, 18], [0, 4])

Will set column 1 to width 18, column 3 to width 18, and column 0 to width =
4.
