The object in question is SUMatrix and allows for full Matrix functionality
combined with variable size row heights, or column widths.

Note that the whole thing must still fit into a rectangle, so you
can get something like this:

+---+----------+---+----------+
|   |          |   |          |
|   |          |   |          |
+---+----------+---+----------+
|   |          |   |          |
+---+----------+---+----------+
|   |          |   |          |
|   |          |   |          |
|   |          |   |          |
+---+----------+---+----------+

The object is really cool (if I do say so myself) and has great
potential for reusability (shameless plug).

We offer binary and source code distribution, example code, and
full 2.0 style and 3.0 style documentation. I can't post pricing
as that's not allowed, but if you want to see the examples and/or
get a copy of the documentation, then let me know.

The company is Solutions Unlimited, and you can either send me
e-mail at samurai@uriel.cs.mcgill.ca, or to darcy@solutions.ca,
and ask for info.
