keeps the value of the last hovered corner during mouse move. 0 is no corner, or ‘mt’, ‘ml’, ‘mtr’ etc.. It should be private, but there is no harm in using it as a read-only property. this isn’t cleaned automatically. Non selected objects may have wrong values

Inherited from

Group.__corner

Defined in
