Hi all,=20
I wish to create a figure that represents a point on the =
screen and a Label that provides a name for the point.=20

I would also like the point to be draggable around the screen and the =
text needs to move around the point so that it is always visible when =
the point is dragged near to the edge of the screen.

I would appreciate if someone could point to the right classes for the =
job!

many thanks

Martin

Sounds like a job for DelegatingLayout on this "point" figure and then a
custom Locator on the label that would detect orientation in the viewport.
