Well the bounds given to paintContent just define your content area boundaries, relative to the nested widget. The content area is inside its own border. The actual position is assigned by the parent (the virtual function there is recomputeChildLayout, you can override that to arrange instead of letting it automatically fill the space). The recomputeChildLayout method is the answer I was looking for. You describe copying the paint method into the paint content method. I did the exact opposite and copied from the paintContent method to the paint method and it worked. I am getting pretty comfortable with using simple display, but I will probably look to minigui in the future. This application is just for me to use so I don't need interactive buttons and so forth. Thanks for making these libraries available. I'm also using your sqllite and http2 modules so far. :)

Yeah, nested widgets are something i sometimes use btu more often then not, i'll make the whole display for a thing - say a graph - just be a single widget and paint it in there. A simpledisplay window's paint code can generally be pasted into a single minigui widget's paint code without much modification (the minigui WidgetPainter actually is a subclass of simpledisplay's ScreenPainter)

I don't really know what exactly you have in mind for the bounds, but anything outside your widget area is going to be clipped anyway, so I think you really want to change that child layout computation.

I decided to throw together a bar chart, but it has been was more complicated than I gave it credit for. I am breaking it up into multiple nested widgets. The issue I'm having is that I don't understand how to assign bounds in the nested widget. I'm sure there's a very clean solution. I basically want a paintContent method but with the bounds dynamically assigned by the parent. My thought is: 1. Create a setBounds on the child 2. Call setBounds on the child from inside paintContent of the parent 3. Instead of using paintContent in the child, use paint and use the bounds specified there but that seems kind of off because I pass the bounds from parent to child separate from having the bounds in the child and it is not intuitive that the bounds would always be set by the parent before the child is painted. If there is a more elegant solution, then I will use it. Otherwise, this solution will work fine with some comments.

But just ask me if something comes up since I can push fixes to master p quickly. The only files it needs from the repo are `minigui.d`, `simpledisplay.d` and `color.d`. There's other optional things in there that might be useful though. My recommended way to use it is to `git clone` the repo in your source dir then `dmd -i yourfile.d` so it is easy to update with a `git pull` and the compiler pulls what it needs (and nothing more) automatically when compiling. But you can also do it yourself or use the dub packages etc.
