I've been playing around with Shapes and I've noticed that the GRect doesn't seem to behave the way I thought it should. For example if I create a EllipseShape and add it to a canvas I can specify the positioning of the ellipse when I create the Ellipse vis the GRect (I also can use the translation attribute). I would have thought that the GRect of a shape is aligned with its parent so if
Then sphere3's GRect should be relative to sphere2, but its not. It's stays relative to sphere1 regardless of how deep in the object graphy I go. I don't know if that makes sense but here is my applicaitons I'm working on which I'm trying to make behave like this example written in the processing.org langauge.
{ canvas.add sphere1}
{sphere1.add spehre2}
{sphere2.add sphere3}
