Enable negative % values for position (x,y) of OSD items

[zoff99]

make it possbile to set % values in navit.xml instead of pixels like

x="10%w"
-> that would mean 10% of display width

[mineque]

i guess "x" means itself it'll be width...

so we only need % value for:

x=" %" y=" %" w=" %" h=" %"

[zoff99]

seems to partially work, but is not in wiki. what does not work is "negativ" and "relative" values like w="-10%"

[korrosa]

If w="10%" creates an OSD item which is 10% of the screen width (as happens in Navit), what would w="-10%" do? Do you mean w="90%" ? I'm interested in a use case for this scenario...

[zoff99]

the use case is this:

x="-10%" w="10%"

otherwise you can not make an OSD element that is "dd%"-size and is also pinned to the right edge of the screen. because without "-dd%" you would not know how to set the "x"-value

[korrosa]

Understood: negative values for position, not height/width. Makes sense.

[zoff99]

can u also document these features in the wiki, at least I could not find them at the moment

Is this already possible? needs to be clearified.

Relative sizes and positions were broken for a long time but should be fully supported from r5910 on.

As for negative positions: this makes sense for absolute values (-60 means 60 pixels from right edge), but for relative values one could simply use x="90%" instead of x="-10%". That would place the item 90% from the left edge, which is 10% from the right edge.

I think we can close this ticket.
