relative-coordinate-clamping

Clamp child coordinates to the parent's coordinate system instead of absolute screen values. This relative clamping ensures child UI elements preserve their layout and visibility during hierarchical transforms like offset, scale, and rotation.

Clamping before transform uses hardcoded screen coordinates that become invalid once the parent moves. You must compute transforms from world to parent space first, positioning children relative to the parent to maintain accurate boundary clamping.

The best way to clamp coordinates for hierarchical layout transforms is calculating child positions relative to the parent and clamping against actual rendering boundaries, which prevents snapping and maintains visibility across composed offsets, scales, and rotations.

Apply boundary clamping by computing transforms from world to parent space, then checking child bounds against both parent bounds and screen edges. This avoids anti-patterns of using fixed screen coordinates during graphics rendering.

Yes, relative coordinate clamping works for character limbs during animation rotation. It applies in hierarchical rendering pipelines where multiple transforms are composed, ensuring limb positions remain bound to parent transforms without clipping.
