Coordinate System
FlowBotics Studio uses a grid system to position components.
Exactly the same grid system is used by the vast majority of
GUI components for drawing and for mouse events.
The grid system is floating point based so you can have
fractions of a grid square. This allows for more precise
positioning of drawing elements.
Of course there's no getting away from the fact that the screen
uses pixels and that these form a discrete grid of points. But by
using special rendering techniques, FlowBotics Studio can still
display graphics as if they were on a continuous surface.
Working in Pixels
Sometimes you need to work in pixels instead of grid squares.
To do this you can make use of the Grid Square to Pixel and
Pixel to Grid Square components to move between the two
systems.
