Re: [code] Re: [pygame] Re: Question regarding a Rect()-object

["Taylor Boon" <tboon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The point I was trying to make was that if you already have a surface, use 
surface.get_rect to get its bounding box, then manipulate however you want 
because the width/height of the Rect gets set from the get_rect call which, 
in turn, allows the Rect to behave as you would expect. No need to calc the 
width/height in that case.
Of course, I may have misunderstood what you are trying to do.. :)

Cheers,
Taylor
