with-geometry

Macro

Summary

Thewith-geometry macro is used for defining layouts and for creating newpinboard-object classes, by binding a set of variables to a pane's geometry.

Syntax

with-geometry pane &body body

Description

The macrowith-geometry binds the following variables across the forms in body to slots in the pane's geometry in much the same way as the Common Lisp macrowith-slots. Its main uses are for defining layouts and for creating newpinboard-object classes.

%x%: The x position of the pane.
%y%: The y position of the pane.
%width%: The width in pixels of the pane.
%height%: The height in pixels of the pane.
%min-width%: The minimum width of the pane.
%min-height%: The minimum height of the pane.
%max-width%: The maximum width of the pane.
%max-height%: The maximum height of the pane.
%object%: The object whose geometry this is.
%child%: The same as%object% (kept for 3.1 compatibility).
%ratio%: Ratio information.

Compatibility Note

In LispWorks 3.1, this macro and all of its variable names were in thecapi-layouts package. They have been moved into theCAPI package for simplicity.
