<function name="LocalToScreen" parent="Panel" type="classfunc"> <description> Takes X and Y coordinates relative to the panel and returns their corresponding positions relative to the screen. See also <page>Panel:ScreenToLocal</page>. <warning>This function uses a cached value for the screen position of the panel, computed at the end of the last VGUI Think/Layout pass, so inaccurate results may be returned if the panel or any of its ancestors have been re-positioned outside of <page>PANEL:Think</page> or <page>PANEL:PerformLayout</page> within the last frame.</warning> <note>If the panel uses <page>Panel:Dock</page>, this function will return 0, 0 when the panel was created.
