That's not really true. "place" takes a position and a size; both can be  
relative (percent, based on its parent), absolute (in pixels, inches, or  
other units), and you can even mix both types. x,y are absolute; relx,rely  
are relative; same goes for height,width and relheight,relwidth.

The available absolute units are: 200 (an integer, *not* 200.0) means 200  
pixels; "200m" (a string) means 200 mm, "200p" means 200 points (1/72"),  
"200i" means 200 inches, and finally "200c" means 200 cm. So you can  
define the exact size and position for each element.

Relative sizes and positions are automatically scaled when the container  
is resized -- in my example, if you resize the window all the "parcels"  
grow and shrink accordingly.

With absolute sizes, you don't have to redo the math each time, but  
resizing isn't automatic. Perhaps absolute sizes are better suited for  
your application.

Glad to be of any help. I'm a male, btw.
