Widgets inside a canvas?

[Andrew Dabrowski]

Is it possible to place widgets at arbitrary positions inside a canvas? Apparently that can be done in Java, but I haven't come across any examples in seesaw. I tried a paint function like
(fn [c g]
(.add c button '(x y))
and although it didn't produce an error, it also didn't display the button.

I can't find anything about this in the seesaw.graphics api (not surprising perhaps since it's out of date). Could someone give me a pointer?

Hey,

xyz-panel supports laying out widgets on top of something paintable. Here's an example:

Thanks, that solves my problem, I somehow missed xyz-panel in the api docs.

Just for future reference, there is in fact no easy way to add widgets to a canvas?

Not without dropping down to swing I think. You could take a look at the xyz-panel impl so see whether it's actually easy or not :)
