I wish to position a button bar, created using FvmwButtons,
horizontally centered along the bottom edge of the screen.
Currently, I use m4 preprocessing to calculate the dimensions of the
button bar by summing individual button sizes and paddings. Based on
that, I calculate the (x,y) coordinates needed to position the bar.
This is too complex and error-prone. For instance, button sizes can
be affected by the length of a button's title and its font.
Is it possible that there is a straightforward method for doing such
a placement?
Actually, for my purposes it would suffice if there is a hook
which gives the total width of the button bar after it is created
and before it is mapped to the screen.
I am using version 2.4.5, if that matters.
