Shifts the position of the document origin. The function does not modify the relative positions of objects in the document; the coordinate locations of objects, however, will change when the origin location is modified.
PROCEDURE SetOrigin(
x : REAL;
y : REAL);def vs.SetOrigin(x, y):
return None| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| x | REAL | X-offset from current origin. |
| y | REAL | Y-offset from current origin. |
The difference between this and [[VS:SetOriginAbsolute]] is that this call shifts the origin the specified amount, where [{VS:SetOriginAbsolute]] sets the origin to the specified values.
