The learning curve seemed a bit steep last time I thought about Glade. I
installed it and it wasn't intuitive to me, and, not being afforded a
lot of time for learning in this project, I moved on. I might try again
using the tutorial, but I never used GUI builders when I used to use
Motif, so I tend not to use them.
Be that as it may, I will look over your design and see what I can get
from it.

I am back into the design business, trying to create a gui using
wxPython and the picture drawn by my boss. He says, "Dividethe space
where the top one third or so is the output box and the bottom two
thirds is divided vertically in half. Put the correct stuff in each
half." He knows even less of how this stuff works than I do. I have
written code that creates a box sizer and added a textctrlwidget at the
top, two radio buttons next, etc, but resizing screws it all
up. I will
attempt to draw in ascii art what I want it to look like:
[snip beautifull ascii art
I am better at ascii art than at wxPython at this point!
The code
I
have (which doesn't yet implement the Second set of RadioButtons is below:

I am close, but I need the outputbox to be about one third
the size of
the entire gui space. Also I need to shrink the parameters
box to within
its side of the gui. Can anyone help me figure this out? I
apologize for
not posting the actual code, but some aspects are proprietary.

get it fully working you'll have to add event handlers at the proper
