Absolute and relative positions in SWTBotGefEditor [message #1090510]

Hi,

I'm, a new user of SWTBot and I want to test a GEF editor. I can easily draw my components using the SWTBotGefEditor but I'm facing issues with relative positions in editor.click(x,y) and drag(fromX,fromY,toX,toY) methods.

As far as I understand, these positions are relative to the viewer, so they depends on the screen resolution. Am I right? Is there a way to easily translate an absolute position into a relative one?

Thanks

As far as I remember of using SWTBot with GMF editors, it seems that it
does not depend directly on the screen resolution, but rather on the
part of the viewer that is shown, which depends on how much the editor
was scrolled.
