[jira] Created: (PIVOT-92) Container that allows Absolute Positioning

Container that allows Absolute Positioning
------------------------------------------

                 Key: PIVOT-92
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-92
             Project: Pivot
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: wtk
    Affects Versions: 1.1
            Reporter: Sandro Martini
            Assignee: Sandro Martini
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 1.2


A use case for this could be the creation of graphics elements that needs precise control over positioning, like many Flash
applications/animations where the Graphic Team set the rules of what the application have to be, and sometimes they realize a prototype. 

Another Use Case could be the Pivot GUI Builder, placing elements in GUI and moving them after, or set the desired layout after.

Suggestion:
need to create pivot.wtk.Panel and pivot.wtk.skin.PanelSkin. I'd suggest that the skin always report a preferred size of 0x0
Suggestion for the names (AbsolutePanel ?) ...

[jira] Commented: (PIVOT-92) Container that allows Absolute Positioning

Posted by "Todd Volkert (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.
    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-92?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12698803#action_12698803 ] 

Todd Volkert commented on PIVOT-92:
-----------------------------------

I second Greg's suggested names :: pivot.wtk.Panel and pivot.wtk.skin.PanelSkin.

Note, these classes should be virtual skeletons since the component contains no extra properties and the skin does no layout -- if you find them containing anything of substance, you're probably going down the wrong path :)
