Raphael Position

Question

How can I get the position of an object in Raphael? I can get the size using getBBox(), but there appears to be no way to get the position?

Answer 1

getBBox() should give you position as well as x and y properties.

var bbox = el.getBBox();
alert([bbox.x, bbox.y]);

Answer 2

getBBox() returns an object with 5 properties. they are:

1. x
2. y
3. width
4. height
5. toString()

if you set getBBox( false ) it will return coordinate data for the object's position AFTER a transformation. set it to getBBox( true ) to return coordinates for the object prior to transformation

use like this ...

paper.Raphael(10,10,300,300);
circle.paper( 30, 55, 15 );
var circleBBox = circle.getBBox( false );

edit: just downloaded R 2.1 and i believe it has added x2 and y2 to the properties returned by getBBox()
