start with a point relative to the figure and try to translate it to
absolute (among other things), but the point always come back unchanged.
An example:
Layer bounds (0,0, 1500, 1500)
Figure Bounds (100, 100, 50, 50)
Anchor Location (5, 5) figure relative
I tried getOwner().translateTo<Everything> on the anchor location and I
always get the same point back. I thought getOwner.translateToAbsolute
would work, but no.
I would appreciate any help with this!
thanks,
adam

I assume that you have set the useRelativeCoordinate in your figure to
be true (because of the relative anchor). I think as far as the figure
concerns, relative is the same as absolute as absolute is actually
relative to the layer. Have you tried anchor.translateToAbsolute()?

whatever the anchor's location is) yourself.

like to hear it!
thanks again,

The only way I could find to do this is the async call as this is the

though, using this method, between the time when the diagram is shown
and when the connections are shown.

Actually, I need the absolute locations because part of my connection
algorithm check the absolute position of the anchor before deciding to
make a connection. It would really help to know where I could put code
that would be called after layout but before showing my diagram.
