• y (int) - defines a unit value thats vertically opposed

Summary

AbsDimension facilitates the 'Layout' mechanism in the WoW UI.

Example

<Frame name="MyFrame">
  <Size>
    <RelDimension x="0.5" y="0.5"/>
  </Size>
  <Frames>
    <Frame name="$parentChild">
      <Size x="200" y="100"/>
      <Anchors>
        <Anchor point="TOP">
          <Offset>
            <AbsDimension x="0" y="-22" />
          </Offset>
        </Anchor>
      </Anchors>
    </frame>
  </Frames>
</Frame>

This example will align the top of the 'child' frame to the top of 'MyFrame', and then offset that alignment by -22 vertically. Also demonstrates use of Dimension with Size and Anchor, and using Abs, Rel and inline values.
