WoW:API Region SetPoint

SetPoint -Documentation by Sarf-

Sets the current attachment point of an UI component. Any of the following formats are valid

obj:SetPoint(point);
obj:SetPoint(point, frame);
obj:SetPoint(point, frame, relativePoint);
obj:SetPoint(point, x, y);
obj:SetPoint(point, frame, relativePoint , x, y);

Arguments

point: the point on your object to use for attaching the obj (see API Positions) (i.e. bind the left side of your frame)

frame: the name of the frame to attach the obj to, an actual frame variable can also be used (can be "UIParent" to attach it to the screen itself); defaults to the parent of obj when not specified, or the screen (not UIParent) when obj does not have a parent

relativePoint: the relative point to attach the obj to (see API Positions) (i.e. bind your frame to the left side of the parent); defaults to the value of point when not specified

x: the X offset (-5 means 5 units left, 5 means 5 units right); defaults to 0 when not specified; units are relative to the screen with the frame's effective scale.

y: the Y offset (-5 means 5 units down, 5 means 5 units up); defaults to 0 when not specified; units are relative to the screen with the frame's effective scale.

Returns

nil

Examples

The following are all equivalent.

MainMenuBar:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", "UIParent", "BOTTOMLEFT", 0, 0);
MainMenuBar:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", UIParent, "BOTTOMLEFT", 0, 0);
MainMenuBar:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", "UIParent", "BOTTOMLEFT");
MainMenuBar:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", "UIParent");

The following is equivalent to the above, given that the parent frame of MainMenuBar is UIParent.

MainMenuBar:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT");
MainMenuBar:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", 0, 0);

Result

Description

Attaches obj to the specified position.

Note

You will have to do a

obj:ClearAllPoints()

before using obj:SetPoint(...), if you expect the frame to actually move.
