adjustable_columns.py

'''This piece of code creates three buttons along the bottom of a window
equally seperated and adjustable by the changing of the window size.
To change where they are positioned in the form layout, swap out the
values in the attachForm with the attachNone values. For example, if
I wanted to place the buttons along the top I would swap out the
attachForm values for each "bottom" value with the attachNone values
for "top".

Here is just a selection of GUI gists I've written which I have found useful when creating my own GUI's. 
Hope you find them useful!

Thanks a lot Jon!

Thanks! There were helpful!
