I am a new user of pui. I could not figure out how to do the following
from the pui documentation:
=20
I start off with a puGroup that has been constructed in a parent class.
I want to add a new group of objects to this puGroup in a child class.
How can I add this new group as a child node and have the existing child
nodes slide over and resize the parent window?
=20
To this end, I have tried using the puObject.add() function to add my
new child puGroup from the child class. Then, I have tried to manually
resize the window, calculate, and set what the new positions of the
existing objects *should* be.
=20
However, for reasons that are unknown to me, the parent window does not
respond to the setSize command. Furthermore, getPosition only returns
zero values when I use it on some of the existing child nodes in the
parent group (interestingly, getSize brings back correct values).  Thus,
when I calculate the position of my new object, it ends up being (0,0).
=20
Example (this is the order in which I would like things to display on
the screen. Coords are (x,y) with the left and bottom of the window
being zero):
=20
start (from parent class):
a (0,1)
c (0,0)
=20
end (in child class):
a (0,2)
b < insert (0,1)
c (0,0)

Thanks for any help you can give.
