ABSTRACT:
Position and sizing of objects within a window that is resized is determined by selectively set parameters. Resizing of the object in response to resizing of a window in which the object appears can be set to an absolute or proportional basis or constrained to respond to only a vertical or a horizontal change in window size. Alternatively, an object can be centered within a window with reference to the margins of a window, which can be selectively set to change in an absolute or proportional manner as the window is resized. Movement of the object within the window can also be set in both the horizontal and vertical direction on an absolute or a proportional basis. To avoid accumulated round-off errors, the sizing of an object always relates to a dynamic initial position, which corresponds to the position in which the object currently would be if moved by a dynamic action, without regard for positional changes due to resizing of the window. However, the position of the object in a window is always saved based upon its initial position.
