resizing an already translated path

[AS]

my web App uses raphael. at some point there is a path on my canvas,
that already got translated to another (x,y) location.

i now have a handler, that - when dragged - should resize the height
of my path. my Path has to stay in the same (already translated)
position, but getting its height changed by the delta y (dy) for every
move-function call

here is the code example, showing whats going on: https://gist.github.com/1752694

thanks for any advice

[AS]

everything that i try results in a jumping behavior of my path.

the path is intentionally translated due to mouse clicks

everything i tried, ends up in one of two results:

- as soon as i try to resize it, it resets/ jumps back to its first location and gets resized there

- as soon as i resize it, it jumps the same translation again and gets resized there 

cant i just say it should do nothing more than stay in position but get translated? 

the reference states, "T x,y" is an absolute translation within a transformation.

[AS]

is there a way, to just change the x,y,width,height?
i tried element.attr({x: something})
on my path, but it isnt showing any reaction

[AS]

i worked around it for now, creating a new path per move call, that
takes the transformation matrix into consideration
i guess its not the best approach, but i dont see any other solution
right now

Path is different to other Elements You can use the transform "Translate" to make coordinate changes and you can use "Scale" to make width and height changes This is standard SVG talk Raphael wise the problem is reduced because we have the very handy method getBBox. This will tell you the PATH coordinates...

That might mean you suffer a performance hit, depending on what your doing...
