">dw::oof::OutOfFlowMgr::tellPosition1</a> and <a class="el" href="classdw_1_1oof_1_1OutOfFlowMgr.html#a9610e1f60895d4199a45e7c03ed98116" title="Called after tellPosition1. ">dw::oof::OutOfFlowMgr::tellPosition2</a> could be combined again, and called in the respective circumstance, depending on <a class="el" href="classdw_1_1oof_1_1OutOfFlowMgr.html#a1d4b6dc690a8d9017b681f5930d6bc72">dw::oof::OutOfFlowMgr::mayAffectBordersAtAll</a>.</p>
<h2>Relative positions </h2>
<p>General Overview:** At the original position, a space as large as the positioned element is left. This is implemented by assigning a size to the widget <em>reference</em>. For this there are two new methods: <a class="el" href="classdw_1_1oof_1_1OutOfFlowMgr.html#a809c2471c978a069ca81ad79e20b573e">dw::oof::OutOfFlowMgr::calcWidgetRefSize</a> and <a class="el" href="classdw_1_1oof_1_1OOFAwareWidget.html#aa240f4bd7fbe852d68051234b9a45f02">dw::oof::OOFAwareWidget::widgetRefSizeChanged</a>.</p>
<p>Bug:** Since the size of a relatively positioned element should be calculated as if it was in flow, the available width should be delegated to the <em>generator</em>; however, since <a class="el" href="classdw_1_1oof_1_1OOFPosRelMgr.html#a483c11f44c7ad327749828511947d870">dw::oof::OOFPosRelMgr::dealingWithSizeOfChild</a> returns <em>false</em> in all cases, it is delegated to the <em>container</em>. <b>Idea for fix:</b> <a class="el" href="classdw_1_1oof_1_1OOFPosRelMgr.html#a483c11f44c7ad327749828511947d870">dw::oof::OOFPosRelMgr::dealingWithSizeOfChild</a> should return <em>false</em> if and only if the generator of the child is the container (to prevent an endless recursion). In other cases, <a class="el" href="classdw_1_1oof_1_1OOFPosRelMgr.html#a1f8f31bc930028928d07637407005600">dw::oof::OOFPosRelMgr::getAvailWidthOfChild</a> and <a class="el" href="classdw_1_1oof_1_1OOFPosRelMgr.html#acb206803f288a2c1f66888c4d0668189">dw::oof::OOFPosRelMgr::getAvailHeightOfChild</a> should directly call the respective methods of the <em>generator</em>, which must be made public then.</p>
<p>Performance:** In many cases, the first call of <a class="el" href="classdw_1_1oof_1_1OOFPositionedMgr.html#a7b1a105d203f328a3b645009381b4009">dw::oof::OOFPosRelMgr::sizeAllocateEnd</a> will queue again the resize idle, since some elements are not considered in <a class="el" href="classdw_1_1oof_1_1OOFPosRelMgr.html#a604a60ddf23d6539312c19d3be0e7768">dw::oof::OOFPosRelMgr::getSize</a>. One case could be removed: if a positioned element has <em>left</em> = <em>top</em> = 0, and its total size (the requisition) is equal to the space left at the original position, the size of the widget <em>reference</em> (<a class="el" href="classdw_1_1oof_1_1OOFAwareWidget.html#a8f0cc8138088d41caba53d69c72ab979">dw::oof::OOFAwareWidget::getRequisitionWithoutOOF</a>, see <a class="el" href="classdw_1_1oof_1_1OOFPosRelMgr.html#a62c4065a83c79b09541732965158c01a">dw::oof::OOFPosRelMgr::calcWidgetRefSize</a>).</p>
<p>Documentation:** Describe why the latter is not covered by <a class="el" href="classdw_1_1oof_1_1OOFPositionedMgr.html#a7c554b243df193f86f0af2691f80179d">dw::oof::OOFPositionedMgr::doChildrenExceedContainer</a>. (Is this really the case?)</p>
<p>Open:** Stacking order? Furthermore: a relatively positioned element does not always constitute a containing block (see CSS specification).</p>
<h2>Fixed positions </h2>
<p>Currently, fixedly positioned elements are positioned relative to the canvas, not to the viewport. For a complete implementation, see <a class="el" href="dw-fixed-positions.html">Fixed positions</a>. </p>
