retrieving x- en y coordinates for nested (visual) objects

[Gerald Groot Roessink]

Hello,

When I use the following commands for a nested object:

var x = diagramObject.bounds.x;
var y = diagramObject.bounds.y;

I will find the x- and y coordinates relative to the enveloping object.

Maybe this is intented, but I was looking voor de coordinates relative to the view.

Is that possible?
Gerald

Hi,

You have to compute absolute coordinates yourself by iterating through parents, until you reach the view itself.
