- <element name="TfpgRect">
- <short>A graphical (pixel based) rectangle structure used throughout fpGUI.</short>
- <descr>
- <p>Note that this structure is not a class, so static allocations are
-allowed. This makes it much easier to use in Widgets and in fpGUI internal
-messages.</p>
- <p>Think of the pixel screen/grid like the grid of a spreadsheet (or as a magnified look of the top corner of your screen).

- <p>x is at (0,0). A pixel is always 1x1, you don't get smaller (we are not using sub-pixels like on LCD screens, because they don't apply to all screens).
-</p>
- <p>So with that example, Width = 1 pixel and Height = 1 pixel. In the case of
-Classes.Bounds() the Right and Bottom values are (1,1) which looking at the
-above image will be wrong, the pixel only covers one block, so in a screen/pixel
-environment, Right, Bottom is also (0,0), the same as Top/Left. This is what
-TfpgRect.Right and TfpgRect.Bottom will report.
-</p>
- <pre>.

-1 | x | x |

-2 | | |
- +---+---+---

-</pre>
- <p>In this example we have a rectangle. Top/Left = (0,0) and Bottom/Right = (1,1).
-This means Width = 2 pixels and Height = 2 pixels. Clearly visible in the image
-above.
-</p>
- <p>But if we call Classes.Bounds(0,0,2,2) it reports Bottom/Right as (2,2) which
-is wrong (again looking at the image above as reference). This is my point.
-Bounds() cannot be used in this case in a graphical environment.
-</p>
- <p>The reason I don't use a grid layout as shown below, is
-because if the mouse is over the rectangle containing x, the OS (graphics system) reports its
-position as (0,0). You don't have to have the mouse pointer over the intersecting
-lines at (0,0) as indicated in the image below. The whole square containing
-the x is referenced as (0,0), hence the grid layout as show in the images above,
-and what fpGUI uses. The same grid layout as used in TfpgStringGrid or any
-Spreadsheet program etc.

- <short>Abstract class use for representing a Window or Widget</short>

-
-<element name="TfpgWindowBase.UpdateWindowPosition">
-<short>Forces fpGUI to act on window position and size properties</short>
-<descr><p>fpGUI implements what is called "delayed resource allocation". It delays
-some action until everything is ready to go. This delayed action applies to setting
-Widget or Form size and position. Why? Imagine you have a complex form
-with lots of anchors, alignments and OnResize event handlers. Now
-somewhere in there you change the size or position of a component.</p>
-
-<code>
-MyWidget.Left := ...
-MyWidget.Top := ...
-MyWidget.Width := ...
-MyWidget.Height := ...
-</code>
-
-<p>If fpGUI acted immediately, as every property is set, it means it
-would have to recalculate all those widget boundaries, and fire all
-OnResize event handlers of the whole form four times. Once for each
-property - as you set them. Not very efficient! To reduce such
-redundant calculations, fpGUI allows you to set all the properties,
-then act on it once you call <var>UpdateWindowPosition</var>. In most cases fpGUI
-can even reduce the API calls needed, because it could pass for
-example Width and Height via one API call. In the case of X11, it can actually do all
-four values in a single API call. Thus improving efficiency and reduces resize
-calculations and screen redraws.</p>

+ <descr>
+ <p>Note that this structure is not a class, so static allocations are

+ <p>x is at (0,0). A pixel is always 1x1, you don't get smaller (we are not using sub-pixels like on LCD screens, because they don't apply to all screens).
+</p>
+ <p>So with that example, Width = 1 pixel and Height = 1 pixel. In the case of
+Classes.Bounds() the Right and Bottom values are (1,1) which looking at the
+above image will be wrong, the pixel only covers one block, so in a screen/pixel
+environment, Right, Bottom is also (0,0), the same as Top/Left. This is what
+TfpgRect.Right and TfpgRect.Bottom will report.

+ <p>In this example we have a rectangle. Top/Left = (0,0) and Bottom/Right = (1,1).
+This means Width = 2 pixels and Height = 2 pixels. Clearly visible in the image
+above.
+</p>
+ <p>But if we call Classes.Bounds(0,0,2,2) it reports Bottom/Right as (2,2) which
+is wrong (again looking at the image above as reference). This is my point.
+Bounds() cannot be used in this case in a graphical environment.
+</p>
+ <p>The reason I don't use a grid layout as shown below, is
+because if the mouse is over the rectangle containing x, the OS (graphics system) reports its
+position as (0,0). You don't have to have the mouse pointer over the intersecting
+lines at (0,0) as indicated in the image below. The whole square containing
+the x is referenced as (0,0), hence the grid layout as show in the images above,
+and what fpGUI uses. The same grid layout as used in TfpgStringGrid or any
+Spreadsheet program etc.

+<element name="TfpgWindowBase.UpdateWindowPosition">
+<short>Forces fpGUI to act on window position and size properties</short>
+<descr><p>fpGUI implements what is called "delayed resource allocation". It delays
+some action until everything is ready to go. This delayed action applies to setting
+Widget or Form size and position. Why? Imagine you have a complex form
+with lots of anchors, alignments and OnResize event handlers. Now
+somewhere in there you change the size or position of a component.</p>
+
+<code>
+MyWidget.Left := ...
+MyWidget.Top := ...
+MyWidget.Width := ...
+MyWidget.Height := ...
+</code>
+
+<p>If fpGUI acted immediately, as every property is set, it means it
+would have to recalculate all those widget boundaries, and fire all
+OnResize event handlers of the whole form four times. Once for each
+property - as you set them. Not very efficient! To reduce such
+redundant calculations, fpGUI allows you to set all the properties,
+then act on it once you call <var>UpdateWindowPosition</var>. In most cases fpGUI
+can even reduce the API calls needed, because it could pass for
+example Width and Height via one API call. In the case of X11, it can actually do all
+four values in a single API call. Thus improving efficiency and reduces resize
+calculations and screen redraws.</p>
