What is the default anchoring position of an item to a view/screen?
-
Window { visible: true width: 640 height: 480 title: qsTr("Hello World") Rectangle{ id: rec color: "red" width: 250 height: 150 visible: true } }In the above code, what would be the default anchor position w.r.t top, right, left and bottom ?
Actually in the above example, i am unable to understand whether x,y values are considered for positioning or is it anchors that are taking care of positioning: which has the most priority over qml element positioning?What exactly would be the difference between anchors and x,y"

You don't have any anchors defined in the code you pasted, so no anchoring is done at all. Position is determined solely by x,y. Both x and y have value of 0 (zero) by default.

x and y determine position away from parent's top-left corner. If you move the parent, these coordinates will not be updated.
anchors determine where an item is "hooked into" it's parent. When the parent moves, an anchored child will move as well.
