Hello everyone,
I was checking something in the doc , and took time to re-read the part about xReference, xOrigin and x.
I stumbled upon some sentences that seem very confusing for a beginner, imho.
Take time to read or re-read this: Changing Position of Objects
In particular two paragraphs seem to say exactly the contrary:
When an Display Object is created, the origin specifies the TopLeft corner of the object. After the object has been created, the reference point is now the center of the object and the x,y values will reference that point. The exception is display.newCircle, which is created with a center origin.
You can move the reference point back to the TopLeft with object:setReferencePoint( display.TopLeftReferencePoint )
If you read the x,y reference points, they will be relative to the x,yOrigin points (center of the object). When the reference point is Center, the reference point is 0,0. When the reference point is TopLeft, the reference point is -w/2,-h/2 (1/2 the object’s width and height).
I think the 2 last paragraphs are only about the circle example. I would re-phrase the whole part to reflect it. [import]uid: 67744 topic_id: 18974 reply_id: 318974[/import]
