Shape.Box is placed strangely

When you create a Box, it is rendered with its center on the top left of the original dimensions used to create it.

relevantly:

lazy val position: Point = dimensions.position - (Point(square) / 2) - (stroke.width / 2)

I’m wondering if a box shape is really needed, or if box-specific constructors for a Polygon would suffice.

Shape.Polygon(myRectangle.corners, ..., ...)

works identically in place of the broken

Shape.Box(myRectangle, ..., ...)

Fixed, will be in the next release.

Thanks for the thoughtful response!

1. I don’t think I’d have noticed that box was really square under the hood if it looked like a rectangle on the screen
2. I think positioning the box from the top left (by default) seems natural, given a) how Graphics behave and b) that you can change the reference point

Particularly, with the current API I’m not sure how the ref and the position relate. I would expect that the position would be the top left of the dimensions adjusted by the ref (ie. dimensions.topLeft + size/2 to get a centered position). Circle would be a bit less surprising to have the origin in the center (or maybe I’d expect the origin to be top left with a ref defaulted to the center). But then it’s very surprising that a Polygon behaves differently than a Box, which I would assume is just a performance optimized Polygon with four sides at 90* angles.
