Endpoint Position in Pixels

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be very useful to be able to specify the location of an endpoint on an 
element in terms of it's distance from the top left corner in pixels rather 
than percents.

This is particularly useful in applications where the size of the element to 
which the endpoint is attached can change dynamically.

Sorry.  I meant to file this as a feature request.

You can probably use the 'offset' values of an anchor spec for this.  Anchors 
can be specified using either four values:

[ x proportion, y proportion, x orientation, y orientation ]

or with six:

[ x proportion, y proportion, x orientation, y orientation, x offset, y offset ]

so something like:

[ 0, 0, 0, -1, 50, 0 ]

would give you an anchor point 50 pixels from the left on the top edge of some 
element, with an 'upwards' orientation for connections from it.
