I was wondering how you would go about positioning dynamically created objects of the same type within a circular pattern.
Basically, what I'm trying to do:
is make it so that when I click on a label, a set number of other labels appear in a circular pattern around the clickable label.
I know how:
to create the labels...and I'm using XML documents to populate the content of the labels. I also have it so that the labels are created dynamically through a basic onclick event generated by Visual Studio 2005.
My problem:
is that I am simply dumbfounded as to how I can position the labels in a circle around another element.
does anyone have any idea how I can achieve this positioning effect? Or what sources I could read from in order to gain a better understanding of how I may accomplish this? Any help is better than none. Thank you in advance for any advice you may give me on this matter. :)
