Jeff,

Looks good to me.  I prefer the in place editing so go ahead and apply
this where it makes sense.  I don't like the bare bones properties
either.  If wxGrid provides a simple way to hide them, let the user
decide which properties to show and/or hide.  There may be use cases
where the user would want to manually edit coordinates, orientation,
etc.  I see no reason for the artificial limit.

Cheers,

Wayne
