Get bounds of a container?

[QuinnFreedman]

Is there a way to get the bounds of an element? For example, if I want to set an element to fill available space, but then I want to know how big that element actually ended up being, is there a way to query that? If not, I guess this is a feature request for that.

Also, it would be nice to know the x,y position of an element so you could translate mouse events from iced_native::subscription::events() into the relative coordinates of the element.

For example, Elm provides that functionality in Browser.Dom

I am also wondering this. I am trying to get relative pixel locations of an image by querying the cursor position over a displayed image.

@QuinnFreedman
It sounds like you are looking for something like getElement from elm. That is not yet implemented in iced

You will need to use a canvas for that. The game of life example uses a canvas to track mouse inputs

I have just opened #1193, which implements a Responsive widget that may suit some of the use cases described here. Let me know!

@hecrj I believe this should work for my use case. I am trying to create a photo editor so I need to track mouse location inside the Image widget to mark pixel locations. I will update here with any successes or difficulties. Thanks for adding!
