Embedded element shape script

[bacz]

Hey Sparkies,
I have a bit of  a problem that despite researching the internet have not been able to resolve.
I am using MDG Shapescript to modify an embedded element - port.
I want to keep the shape, but simply move it to the edge of element I have built.

The edge of the element, as you would expect from a port, is not on the edge, but in the centre. I want the port square symbol to rest ON the edge, not be off set by -10 of whatever so the edge is in the centre of the port.

I have tried using bottomAnchorOffSet, left, right etc but no effect. Can anyone advise?
Thanks


shape main{
   noshadow = "true";
   bottomAnchorOffset= (0,0);
    rectangle(0,0,100,100);
   
   if (HasTag("Status","Future")) {
         setfillcolor(0,255,0);
    }
   if (HasTag("Status","ToGo")) {
         setfillcolor(255,0,0);
    }
   fillandstrokepath();
   
}

Not sure if you can offset a port (but why not?). You should try the attribute parentedge which delivers “right”, “left”, “top” or “bottom” so you can calculate the needed offsets.

If you want it external, try extending ProvidedInterface instead.

If you don't change the metatype, you'd have to check parentedge, and offset your drawing by 50%.
