ABSTRACT:
A system and method for enabling a developer to write a computer program that, when executed, displays a matrix on a computer display device, and a system and method for displaying a matrix on a computer display device. The system receives a request from the developer to create a matrix having rows and columns, where the widths of the columns are defined using a declarative column specification string. This specification string, and optionally, a programming algorithm that modifies or recreates the specification string, are stored in the system. A user then executes a computer program in the system. During execution, a number of events may occur in response to which the utility and usability of the matrix may be improved by adjusting the widths of the columns in the matrix. The invention resizes the width of each column in the matrix according to the column specification string.
