I looked for how to do that in docs, no success.

Hi there,
I looked for how to do that in docs, no success.
I probably missed something.

how-to-setup-draw-mode-corner-center-etc

it depends if you are using sketch or mgraphics.

it is all in the documentation. look at "javascript in max".

    var width = this.box.rect[2] - this.box.rect[0];

    var height = this.box.rect[3] - this.box.rect[1];

...mgraphics does both relative and non-relative coords

and use
screentoworld (x,y)
and
worldtoscreen (x, y, z)

mgraphics.init();
mgraphics.relative_coords = 1;
mgraphics.autofill = 0;

function calcAspect() {
	var width = this.box.rect[2] - this.box.rect[0];
	var height = this.box.rect[3] - this.box.rect[1];
	return width/height;
}

...mgraphics does both relative and non-relative coords


yes it is, but I thought about a parameter I missed.

especially, I was confused because usually, there are fixed coordinates references then some constant to draw (and fill) primitives.

in my case, I need the absolute system, and I'll offset all my little object because absolute system means corner mode.

mgraphics / jsui

it isn't a prob, just good to know :)

iv'e been discovering mgraphics recently, and i agree that this is a PITA. it particularly annoys me with the way rotation works.

however, i went and looked at cairo (which mgaphics is basically a port of) and some other vector libraries, and all of them seem to work this way. of course , too.

at least it is fine declaring many different "New MGraphics" paths all with their own independent 'mgraphics.relative_coords'.

i am a relative noob here though, so do not listen to me.

important is to know how it works for each one of us in our own world and need

How to setup draw mode (corner, center etc) ??
