Geometry management questions about picotui HOT 4 OPEN

When assigning coordinates to widgets, picotui does not consider that some consoles will be different sizes.

Of course it considers that, in a very specific and obvious way, from the README:

it lacks geometry managers, so calculating coordinates is up to you

from picotui.

Yes, the README considers that, but that actual code does not. Is this something you would accept if I can get it working?

README explicitly states that it's outside of picotui's scope. Geometry management can be implemented on top of picotui using separate libraries. Feel free to keep this issue open and discuss the matter with other interested picotui users. (I personally won't be interested in it until I find a usecase for it. In the meantime, there're much more mundane issues to resolve like #13 or #23).

The functions above work almost perfectly for this. Some additional math is required when text and frames are involved tho. When using ax for a widget width, it would be something like ax(30)-2. Same goes if you have text on the side of the widget, but the minus would be the length of the label.
The way I got it to work, was to set the dialog to 80x24. Than I set all the widget coordinates within that range and wrapped them in these new functions.
Now all the widgets will expand to their right positions on different size screens and when resizing.
The only thing it doesn't handle is if the screen goes below 80x24. It will have overlaps.
