[gme-users] Query regarding positional an entity

[damathai at vt.edu]

Hey there,

I am developing an BON2 interpreter that creates a state machine after analyzing
some behavioral description. I have successfully deviced the state machine
formulation, however if i keep inserting states (BON::Atom) using the static
create() member function, there is no way to say where this created object
should be placed. In the visual editor all the objects i insert end up at one
end of the canvas and i have to sit and place them correct so i can visualize
the state machine created.

Is there a way to place the object you create onto the canvas, such that it is
readable through the visual editor.

Please do let me, if someone has tried something like this and have faced
similar problem. I am sure GME does allow some APIs to insert the object in a
certain location on the visual screen, but i couldnt find any APIs for this in
the BON2 chapter.

Thank you,

Regards,
Deepak
