I have nested figures, and I added a mouse listener to one of the nested figures.

When I click on the figure, and print the location of event.getLocation().x, X is relative to the top level figure.

In the example class below, when you click the top left corner of the green rectangle, I am trying to make it so it prints an X location of 0.

Instead, it prints an X location of 30.

I have been experimenting with the the _layer.translateToRelave(..), _layer.translateToAbsolute(..), _layer.translateFromParent(..), and _layer.translateToParent(..).

Nothing I try works. I read the documentation, but I am not able to understand what I am doing wrong.

Can someone, please, please, please, please help me out?

Here is my test class:

Hi Kazan.

You can use IFigure's getBounds() to get the absolute position of the
figure.. (setBounds() is called by the layoutmanager.)
And so you can use Point's getDifference to get the relative offset..

> Point p = event.getLocation().getCopy();
> IFigure figure = _root.findFigureAt(p);
> if (figure==null) {

> }
> Dimension offset = p.getDifference(figure.getBounds().getTopLeft());
> System.out.println("mousePress: figure is " + figure + " and offset is " + offset);
> event.consume();
> }
> });

Hope this helps,
Best,
Ivar

Hi again.

Actually, I'm a little confused by relative/absolute coordinates.
getBounds() seems to return the relative position of the figure.
However, so does the MouseEvent.
Can anybody explain this a little further?

I'd be very happy to see more comments in the javadoc about
whether absolute or relative coordinates is used for methods such
as getBounds().

Thanks,
Ivar
