Thanks for the replies. It is becoming much clearer.

Thanks again. Looks like the example provided in the docs had me using button.center, button.height and button.width, instead of just button.frame.

Thanks for your help.

It seems you use:

.frame

to position the button. On the website, the basic example for Pythonista ui used:

button.center

Can you explain differences between frame and center attributes, as relates to a subview (in this case a button)

I simply want to position a button at a predictable position on screen (x,y) and have it stay there. What am i doing wrong?

Worked on an ipad but not my friends iphone. This is maddeningly frustrating. This simple task should be much much easier.

Took me a while to understand it's based on THE BUTTON'S upper left corner. Thanks. The word "center" threw me off.

Horribly worded question. Lets try again.

Why does:

button.center =(150,150)
button.width = 200
button.heigth= 75

And

button.width = 200
button.heigth= 75
Button.center(150,150)

Result in markedly different button positions?

Move the commented line to the second button.center and the button moves. Why?presumedly due the the .width and .height statements.....

import ui
        
v = ui.View()


v.present('full_screen')
button = ui.Button (title='button')
v.add_subview(button)

button.background_color = 'white'
#button.center =(100,100)
button.width= 360
button.height=100
button.center=(100,100)```

Thanks very much. Will let you know how it goes.

I have a similar question. I built an app (iphone) for work. Coworkers loved it, so they bought pythonista, SIMPLY TO USE MY APP and now I can't figure out how to share the GUI with them.

HEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPP
