I am trying to make a tab object that overlaps a two dimensional grid. I would like to make the tabs line up with the grid underneath, but I don't see any way to change how the tab object automatically splits up rows and columns. If I have 16 total tabs it jumps from 1x16, 2x8, and so on depending on how I resize it. I would like to, for example, keep it 2x8 and re-size freely. Is that possible?

I basically want to be able to define a tab object based on 4 values:

Nope. The positioning is automatic. If you want to have only one row 

though, you can uncheck the multiline attribute.

Nope. The positioning is automatic. If you want to have only one row

That is too bad. In this case I want to get two columns.

While trying to find a way to cheat, I discovered that the number of rows created by the automatic system is dependent on font size. Bigger fonts allow the object to become taller before splitting into fewer columns. It offers an indirect way to control the divisions.

Indeed, the positioning depends on the overall text size (number of

Indeed, the positioning depends on the overall text size (number of  
characters, fontface, fontsize...).

Tab object - is it possible to control layout?
