Hi again,
Hi,
It's clearer now?
Not really. Do you just mean that:
view->Bounds().PrintToStream(); view->ScrollTo(-5, -5); view->Bounds().PrintToStream();
will dump two different bounds? (the second is shifted, as is the origin of the local coordinate system)
I'm not sure about that. The Bounds() rectangle is like the currently visible portion of the views contents. When you scroll a view, another portion of the contents are displayed. In another words, the Bounds() rectangle changes. However, the coordinate system origin is something different, I think:
suppose Origin() = B_ORIGIN, then
StrokeLine(BPoint(5, 5), BPoint(10, 5));
will draw a line at a certain position in the view.
SetOrigin(5, 5); StrokeLine(BPoint(0, 0), BPoint(5, 0));
will draw the very same line (on screen), everything else being equal.
I don't really know what happens to Bounds() after calling SetOrigin() like that. But I do know that Origin() will not be affected by simply scrolling the view (shifting the visible portion of the contents). I would find it logical if Bounds() returned something different after SetOrigin(), but without actual scrolling of course. But the Be implementation *could* be buggy or inconsequent or whatever you want to call it. We need to test that.
Thoughts?
bye, Adi.
