[Moose-dev] Re: Issue 842 in moose-technology: ROTranslatingShape mouse hotspot mis-alignment

Comment #6 on issue 842 by google....(a)ben.coman.com.au: ROTranslatingShape mouse hotspot mis-alignment http://code.google.com/p/moose-technology/issues/detail?id=842 Following on from this, thought I would float the idea of considering ROChildrenShape as reference layer 0, then the current "plus sign" could be considered to be adding shapes layered above ROChildrenShape, while the a "minus sign" might be used to add shapes layered below ROChildrenShape (or the opposite orientation). So then you might have a script like... ------------------ | rawView outer | rawView := ROView new. outer := (ROElement spriteOn: 'outer') - (ROCircle new color: (Color lightGreen alpha: 0.95)) + ROTranslateShape + ROLabel. 1 to: 4 do: [ :n| outer add: (ROElement spriteOn: n)]. ROGridLayout on: outer elements. rawView add: outer. rawView open. ----------------- where the circle is drawn under the children elements, then the child elements are drawn, then the translation is applied to the label drawn on top. btw, what are the issues with each shape having its own offset initialized to 0@0, or using bounds rather than extent, where the origin could go negative?
