Editing WoW:XML/RelDimension

{{uixmltype}}

[[XML/RelDimension|RelDimension]] is used for defining values that relate to the UI coordinate system. See the [[XML/RelValue|RelValue]] and [[XML/Value|Value]] for value pair use types. The RelDimension type can be used for '''Size''', '''Position''' and others, and can be found on [[XML/LayoutFrame|LayoutFrame]], [[XML/Anchor|Anchor]], and others.

== Summary ==

[[XML/RelDimension|RelDimension]] facilitates the 'Layout' mechanism in the WoW UI. RelDimension is differnt from [[XML/AbsDimension|AbsDimension]] in that it works with a different UI screen coodinate system than AbsDimension does, both of which refer to the same sizes or postions on the same WoW UI screen. AbsDimension uses 'unit based' coodinates, like units -200 through 200 where a value refers to a postion some where in that range. RelDimension uses what can be refered to as 'scalar' coordinates, where there are no 'unit based' coordinates, and values are 'scaled' based on a ratio like 0.0 through 1.0.

=== Example ===
 <Frame name="MyFrame">
   <Size>
     <[[XML/RelDimension|RelDimension]] x="0.5" y="0.5"/>
   </Size>
 </Frame>

This example demonstrates use of Dimension with '''Size''' and using '''Rel''' values.
