ISSUE-2182: Consider adding new interface for easier use of positional properties

Consider adding new interface for easier use of positional properties
- State:
- RAISED
- Product:
- SVG 2
- Raised by:
- Doug Schepers
- Opened on:
- 2008-11-17
- Description:
- One of the most common hard problems that SVG authors face is getting the absolute coordinate position of an event, adjusting for transformations, nested SVGs, and viewBox factors.
I suggest a new interface on 'event', getPosition(), which would have as properties the adjusted x and y, the CTM, and the other factors that went into the calculation.
This would make creating related content much easier (things like drag&drop code, map coords, etc.). - Related Actions Items:
