NROnLoad

[26] If a function NROnLoad of the global scope is defined, it is invoked when all of the classes defined in the NodeRect.js are loaded.

Definition

[25] The position-absolute origin is the top left corner of the box that would be generated from a child element with position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0 of the body element. It is same as the origin of the canvas, according to the CSS 2.1 specification. However, in Gecko, it is instead the top left corner of the padding edge of the box generated by the root element.

Example

[33] See NodeRectViewer.js, an interactive user interface for the NR.js.
