[Gnumed-devel] Data mining plugin buttons obscured

[Sebastian Hilbert]

Hi all,

Let's see if we can fix the obscured buttons in the data mining plugin. The 
buttons are not properly shown since the panel size is too small.

The file in question is gmDataMiningWidgets.py leads us to wxgDataMiningPnl.py 
and wxgDataMiningPnl.wxg

Loading the wxg file in wxglade lets you experiment with sizers and so on. 
Wxglade has a helpful preview feature which lets you see your changes.

Turns out there is a miscalculation of the space needed for the top panel.
There are a few ways to handle this but none is obvious

1.) One can set a fixed panel height so it will be large enough to display the 
buttons, this will calculate the correct sash position for the splitter 
windows

2.) One can specify a fixed sash position. This will calculate the panel size 
accordingly

3.) One supposedly can set it to '0' which will give upper and lower panel 50% 
- but does not

The underlying issue seems to be that the buttons don't report the correct 
dimensions.

Until someone smart comes along and fixes the problem in an elegant way I have 
set the sash position in this case to 150 to make the buttons show up.
