[[XML/AbsValue|AbsValue]] facilitates the 'Layout' mechanism in the WoW UI. See the [[XML/AbsDimension|AbsDimension]] and [[XML/Dimension|Dimension]] for numerical value pairs use types. AbsValue is the 'unit based' property version in [[XML/Value|Value]], where <[[XML/RelValue|RelValue]]> is the 'scalar' value property version.

=== Example ===
 <Frame name="MyFrame">
   <Size x="200" y="200"/>
   <Layers>
     <Layer>
       <[[XML/FontString|FontString]] text="Bob" inherits="MyFont">
         <Size x="100" y="100"/>
         <[[XML/Value|FontHeight]]>
           <[[XML/AbsValue|AbsValue]] val="12"/>
         </FontHeight>
         <Anchors>
           <Anchor point="TOP"/>
         </Anchors>
       </FontString>
     </Layer>
   </Layers>
 </Frame>
