Well, I am now officially confused about the behavior of simplelayout
(and not for the first time).
This is what I have written in the reference page now:
<p><classname>simplelayout</classname> extends
<classname>LzLayout</classname>, and therefore it is responsible for
arranging all of the subviews for the view that it is attached to.
<classname>simplelayout</classname>
affects either the <attribute>x</attribute> or <attribute>y</attribute>
value, depending on the value of the <attribute>axis</attribute>
attribute. <classname>simplelayout</classname> places the first subview
at (0, 0) and then places each subsequent subview based on the width
(or height) of the previous subview, depending on which axis was
specified.</p>
However, consider the following:
<canvas debug="true">
<view >
<simplelayout axis="y" spacing="10"/>
<view bgcolor="blue" y="40" height="30" width="50">
<handler name="oninit">
Debug.write("x is " + x, "y is " + y)
</handler>
</view>
<view bgcolor="blue" height="30" width="50"/>
<view bgcolor="blue" height="30" width="50"/>
</view>
</canvas>
No matter what values you assign to x and y of the first view, it
always appears in the upper left corner. That is, to the eye it
appears that it's at x=0, y=0.
However, the debug statements reflect the values given to x and y in
the opening tag.
So the question comes down to, who am I going to believe, the debug
statement or my lying eyes?
Or, more likely, am I overlooking something really obvious?
Thanks
jrs
