-Command:
-
-  FlatOut.base(base)
-
-  Description:
-    This command will change the base for position specifications. It is also useful while
-    working with layouts that are specified with an offset.
-
-    example:
-      FlatOut.base(0)                 # Set the base to zero.
-      FlatOut.base(1)                 # Set the base to 1(default).
