translateX and translateY should accept Size Percentage as well as Size LengthUnit argument

[ddssff]

Currently I have to say

transform $ translateX (other "-50%")
transform $ translateY (other "-50%")

On the other hand, transform $ translate (pct (- 50)) (pct (- 50)) works and is what you actually want, the two transforms above interfere with each other.

+1 for this

Currently I have to say

transform $ translateX (other "-50%")
transform $ translateY (other "-50%")

Instead of what do you have to say this?

[ddssff]

I'm not sure I understand the question.

[turion]

You wrote "Currently I have to say", but I'm not sure what the problem with the code transform $ translateX (other "-50%") is. Is the problem that you have to use other instead of pct?

[ddssff]

Yes that's it. other is unsafe.

This issue has not seen any activity in a long time. If no further activity occurs, it will be closed after ten weeks.

[ddssff]

Closing issues because they are old makes no sense to me.

[turion]

Fair enough. It's been closed though because there wasn't any activity for over a year. I'll assume you want this issue to stay open.

What we need to drive the issue forward is a concrete proposal how to change the API (bonus points for a sketch how to change the implementation).
