Position of button

From:: Gunther Diemant

Hi all,
i have a small problem. I can't set the left position of a button.

Sample:

Shoes.app :width => 200, :height => 100 do
  stack do 
    para "Hello World!", :align => "center"
    button("Close", :width => 100, :left => 50) { exit }
  end
end

I would expect, that the button is centered, but it sticks to the left 
margin of the window.

Is there something wrong with my code or is it a shoes problem?

I'm using 
 Shoes Policeman r1514
 Arch Linux

and build shoes myself from the github source code.

Ciao
gunther

Hi Gunther,

for that to work as you've written it, you need to add in a top coordinate
as well:

button("Close", :width => 100, :left => 50, :top => 50) { exit }

Requiring both top and left is mentioned, but not explicitly so, on page 16
of Nobody Knows Shoes. Really worth a read if you want to figure out Shoes
positioning.

I guess we should at least amend the manual to explain that.
