Most of them don't have left, top, bottom, right either. It is more minX, minY, maxX and maxY. As you say, they can mostly not be set. I still wonder if we let 'left' mutable, should it be possible that it will reflect the right side of a rect? Or should we rather switch the values between 'left' and 'right' if that happens? I think that is related to Robert's question if 'width' and 'height' should ever be negative. Greetings, Dirk > > -- > James Ross <james@james-ross.co.uk>
