Parent Justification

Uses of Parent Justification by Protos

Some system protos have specialized parent justification so they will draw out in a particular location. For example, look at the settings of protoLargeCloseBox:

viewJustification
parentRelativeRight
parentRelativeBottom

viewBounds
left: -18, right: -5, top: -18, bottom: -5

Thus, a protoLargeCloseBox is 13 pixels square and is located 5 pixels from the lower right edge of its parent (see FIGURE 5.22).

FIGURE 5.22 : A close box uses parent justification to nestle in its parent's bottom right corner.
