I'm attempting to create BoxRelativeAnchors for a series of ContainerShapes that are a 3 or 4 steps down a hierarchy of ContainerShapes.

only the top level containerShape is active, the rest are not.

I'm trying to place the BoxRelativeAnchors, and so far I cannot seem to work out what .setRelativeHeight and .setRelativeWidth actually do. I'm using .setLocationAndSize to locate the anchors relative to the ContainerShape that is active, as I know that the inactive ContainerShape do not provide their own co-ord. system.

Can someone explain what .setRelativeHeight and .setRelativeWidth actually do? I've looked through the example in the Graphiti help, but it doesn't give me much of a clue how to do more complex positioning.

Thanks

Try thinking of them as "setRelativeHorizontalPosition" and "setRelativeVerticalPosition", from 0.0 to 1.0

 (Width,Height)
 0.0,0.0                                1.0,0.0
  ---------------------------------------
  |                                     |
  |                                     |
  |0.0,0,5                              |1.0,0.5
  |                                     |
  |                                     |
  ---------------------------------------
 0.0,1.0                                1.0,1.0
