IFigure - no getLocation() ?? [message #107331]

Why does IFigure not have a getLocation() method?
Not a big problem and I'm sure there's probably a good reason for it but
after saerching the newsgroups I couldn't find anything so I thought I'd
ask...

Thanks

I?m also sure, there?s a reason.
Are you looking for an answer to your question
or a possibility to get the location? Then try figure.getBounds.getLocation!

Because they have bounds.
@see IFigure#getBounds

Well, normally figures are placed (@see IFigure#setBounds) by their parents
with the help of a layout manager.

Yes, but often you need to find the location of a figure and the Abstract
GraphicalEditParts return IFigure from getFigure(), so I'm currently
casting to Figure to use getLocation(). I could use
getBounds().getLocation() but anyway...
Just seems strange that IFigure would have a setLocation() but no
getLocation() when Figure does...

Thanks
Chris
