Surfaces

Introduction

Surfaces are div elements that surround other elements and are designed to provide alignment onto a fixed coordinate.


          var surface = new Surface(undefined, PrimitiveTools.$('#my-div-1'));
surface.setMode('point');
surface.top = 10;
surface.left = 200;

Types of Surfaces

There are four (4) types of surfaces: point, vertical, horizontal, area (default). Point surfaces only have a position with no width or height. Vertical surfaces only have height while horizontal ones only have width. Area surfaces (the default), allow you to specify both width and height in addition to position.


          var surface = new Surface(undefined, PrimitiveTools.$('#my-div-1'));
surface.setMode('point');
surface.top = 10;
surface.left = 200;
