Yes - I totally obsessive about it. Pretty well all the prototyping I do is
with views that scale to the view port. I've always hated fixed width views
and web sites - for completely unreasonable reasons. So all my groups have
resize handlers and I can script the equivalent of "put that group in that
rectangle of that card or group" - with a resize handler on preopencard you
get what you are describing.
