Insets

Insets are the position offsets assigned to an edge, not to be confused with position type:

node.setPosition(Edge.Right, 10);
node.setPosition(Edge.Top, "10%");

How an inset moves the node depends on its position type:

• Static: Insets have no effect.
• Relative: The node is moved by the given amount from where it would normally be. Each inset is relative to the node’s own edge, so setPosition(Edge.Right, 10) moves the node so that its right edge sits 10 points left of where it would otherwise be.
• Absolute: The node is moved by the given amount from the corresponding edge of its containing block, so setPosition(Edge.Right, 10) puts the node’s right edge 10 points inside the containing block’s right edge.

When a node has a fixed size and opposite insets are both set, for example left and right, the left and top edges win.
