[julia-users] Initializing a nested composite type variable

[Kaj Wiik]

Let's assume that I have defined composite types
type Xy
    x
    y
end

type Minmax{T}
    min::T
    max::T
end

To make code readable, I'd like to initialize nested composite type 
variable like this:
var=Minmax{Xy}()
var.min.x = 0
var.max.x = 1
var.min.y = -10
var.max.y = 0

How to accomplish this? The problem is that 
var=Minmax{Xy}()
does not work.

Any suggestions, other approaches?

Cheers,
Kaj
