Date: 2011oct13 Platform: all Q. I keep to do something with all sides of a rectangle. What's a sensible order to do it in? A. CSS does it in clockwise order from the top. eg:

padding: 1px 2px 3px 4px

Will give you 1 pixel of padding on top, 2 on the right, 3 on the bottom and 4 on the left. So if you want to zero all of an Android Rect do this:

myrect.top = myrect.right = myrect.bottom = myrect.left = 0;

This isn't any law but I think its a nice practice.
