Absolute positioning of labels

[hci...@gmail.com]

I am ripping my hair out trying to get labels to position according to exact x,y positioning. I have a screen widget that I have added a button to and have set the button to an exact position and size. I then try to add two labels on top of this button (No I'm not using the button's text and I have good reason). I have tried to set the labels to be relative to the button, i.e. label.pos = button.pos which works if I add the labels to the canvas (Of course for obvious reason this is not a good idea), but if I add the label to the root widget the labels are nowhere near the button. What I see is that the button's position starts at the lower-left corner of the screen when I set it's x,y 0,0, but if I do the same for the labels kivy considers 0,0 to be the center of the screen. So if I try to position them at say 100,150 kivy puts it at center_x + 100, center_y + 150. I know the obvious thing would be to add all my widgets to a FloatLayout, but when I do that no sizing or positioning works on the button and the same issues happen on the labels as when they're added to the root widget. It seems no matter what I do I can't choose where to put labels. Any ideas?

Hi

It's difficult to say without seeing your code. Using the FloatLayout as the direct parent of your widgets should work though. Try setting the "pos_hint_x" to None and "pos_hint_y" to None, and the size_hint to (None, None)?

Otherwise, post you code here so we can have a look.

Peace

Lol!! I lost an entire day trying to fix that and it turned out to be that small little detail! Thanks man!

:-) Once too me almost two days of debugging to discover a comma should have been a point...
