A minus sign in front of the value is a reference to the standard key size:
•
An X-Len of -2 produces a key that is twice as wide. A Y-Pos of -5 posi-
tions the key in the fifth key row.
•
A plus sign in front of the value adds the value relative to the current stan-
dard position; with X-Pos = +5, the key is positioned at a distance of 5
pixels from the previous one.
•
Values with no -/+ sign are used as absolute pixel positions within the key-
board window.
