Subject: Re: Distance of a grob from its reference point

Then, do you agree that this causes that the \offset command is broken at least 
for the X/Y-offset properties of any grob?

It depends on what you mean by “broken”.  If you mean it doesn’t give an offset 
from what the final position would be without the \offset command, yes, it’s 
broken for Y-offset of any grob whose Y-offset is a an unpure-pure container.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. I would be very happy to see a solution or an 
alternative for making *fine tuning* while preserving the avoid-collisions algo.
In addition, I wonder if is there a way to get the final positioning (and then 
the actual distance from the reference point) by overriding some stuff in the 
.scm code. This is how I generated the html file instead of the svg one.
There is not, as far as I know.

Carl
