[Panel-devel] CardLayout and PositionLayout

[Ivan Čukić]

> I was thinking about position layout. How about something like this:
It would be a bit more dirty hack than it currently is. The main disadvantage 
of that approach is that the real number resolution gets worse on large 
numbers than on small ones.

I'll probably make the point coordinates to be defined by four values (so the 
rectangle coordinates would be defined by eight values)
 - xr, yr, xa, ya - the real coordinates would be calculated in the following 
manner:
   x = (xr * width) + xa; y = (yr * height) + ya
This way the middle point and corners would not be privileged, and all the 
dirty hacks would be removed.

This layout would have greater expressiveness than any current layout for 
static layouting - for example complicated plasma-window layouts.

Cheers.
