ANN: TextEdit StaticText View resize and alignment tool...

Christopher J. Demers
Dolphin Smalltalk used to use a larger default TextEdit height.  Object Arts
has reduced the default height.  However any UI components that had been
created with the taller height will not be changed.  I developed this tool
primarily to resize old TextEdits.  However it turns out that this is
actually useful on a regular basis even after all older views have been
processed.  As part of the tool I automatically align middles of StaticTexts
with their TextEdits.  This package will add a 'Resize and Align Text and
Labels' command to the Modify menu of the View Composer.  I now use this
tool to automatically clean up my alignment after I do a rough placement.

I would be interested in feedback.
