Detailed Description
This is the base class for the so-called BogusObject's.These Object's are not really Object's, in that they don't represent objects. They exist because Object's also serve another purpose, namely containing data. They can all be loaded and saved, and the only difference between these objects and normal objects are that these serve *only* to be loaded and saved. This approach adds a lot of flexibility to the Kig system, and has certainly proven itself very valuable.

Returns a reference point where to attach labels; when this returns an invalidCoord then the attachment is either not done at all, or done in a specific way (like for curves, or for points) The treatment of points could also take advantage of this attachment mechanism. If this method returns a valid Coordinate, then this is interpreted as a pivot point for the label, which can still be moved relative to that point, but follows the object when the object changes. In practice a new RelativePointType is created (position of the string), this type in turn depends on the object (to get its attachPoint) and two DoubleObject that are interpreted as relative displacement (x and y) Implements Object. |
