var parentView = new Rectangle(300, 400); parentView.setPosition(50, 50); // Position on the canvas parentView.setColor("lightgray"); parentView.setBorderWidth(2); add(parentView); Now, create a child that sits inside the parent. The key is that its x and y are relative to the parent’s position . If the parent is at (50, 50), and you want the child at the top-left corner of the parent, you set the child’s position to (50, 50) on the canvas, OR you set it relative to the parent.
Child position = Parent position + Offset. 2.3.9 nested views codehs
