offset
[1/7] from: ammoncooke::yahoo::com at: 22-May-2001 13:51
Hi all,
I have a small problem, the offset attribute doesn't seem to work, in fact it returns
an error:
offset has no value
Here is the code:
REBOL[]
author "ammon cooke
title "just testing"
view layout[
offset 150x150
vh1 "Just Testing the Offset value"
]
Any comments are appreciated.

sorry about the typo, here's the real code:
REBOL[]
title: "Offset Test"
Author: "Ammon Cooke"
view layout[
offset 100x100
vh1 "Offset Test"
]
The result was interesting, in one script it throws:
offset has no value
in another it says:
Unknown word or style: offset
Misplaced item: 100x100
What's up???
Thanks!!
Ammon

Hi, Ammon,
I know that offset is used as a refinement for both 'view and 'layout,
but I don't believe that it is a VID dialect word. What visual effect
are you trying to achieve?

Ammon,
Offset is not a word defined in the VID dialect. Not all words in the face
object are found in the VID dialect.
If your intention is to place vh1 label at 100x100 then use at.
view layout [
at 100x100
vh1 "Offset Test"
]
or using 'with (should give access to the underlying face object)
view layout [
vh1 "Offset Test" with [offset: 100x100] ;bug!! this should work, but
doesn't.
]
If your intention is to place the window at 100x100
view/offset layout [
vh1 "Offset Test"
] 100x100
or
lay: layout [
vh1 "Offset Test"
]
lay/offset: 100x100
view lay
or to center it
view center-face layout [
vh1 "Offset Test"
]

I have my taskbar in the left hand side of the window, I have seen people
with their's on the top.... That means that I, & they have to fuss with
draging the window around to view all of it. From what I gathered of the
View Doc this command should acomplish that.
Thanks!!

Well, I see that Allen Kamp's suggestions were comprehensive, and one of
his suggestions appears to addess your problem.
Best Wishes,
