Screen cutting helper

[kbmonkey]

Just sharing this module I whipped up to assist me in cutting up screen regions. If it helps anyone, great! To wit:

Code: Select all

    cutter = require("cutter")
    -- function cutter.cut(width, height, [alignment], [container])

    -- a box 50% of the screen size (Blue)
    box1 = cutter.cut(0.5, 0.5, "center")

    -- a box half the height of the first box, aligned to the bottom (Green)
    box2 = cutter.cut(1, 0.5, "bottom", box1)

    -- a box half the width of the previous, left aligned (Red)
    box3 = cutter.cut(0.5, 1, "left", box2)
