Chapter 280: MotionPathPlugin.getRelativePosition()

Core Idea

Returns the x/y gap between two elements' chosen reference points, correctly accounting for any nested transforms on either — result is expressed in the fromElement's parent's coordinate system.

Reference Tables

Parameter	Type	Description
fromElement	Element | window	element the distance is measured from
toElement	Element | window	destination element (must be a real reference)
fromOrigin, toOrigin	Array | Object | String	reference points on each element

Returns: {x, y}.
