NAME
XmTextPosToXY -- A Text function that accesses the x and y position of a character position
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Text.h>
Boolean XmTextPosToXY(
Widget widget,
XmTextPosition position,
Position *x,
Position *y);
DESCRIPTION
XmTextPosToXY accesses the x and y position, relative to the upper left corner of the Text widget, of a given character position in the
text buffer.
In the case of horizontal writing, the position is the origin of the character. In the case of vertical writing, the position is the verti-
cal origin of the character.
widget Specifies the Text widget ID
position Specifies the character position in the text for which the x and y position is accessed. This is an integer number of characters
from the beginning of the buffer. The first character position is 0 (zero).
x Specifies the pointer in which the x position is returned. The returned position is the distance from the left side of the wid-
get to the left border of the character. This value is meaningful only if the function returns True.
y Specifies the pointer in which the y position is returned. The returned position is the distance from the top of the widget to
the character's baseline. This value is meaningful only if the function returns True.
For a complete definition of Text and its associated resources, see XmText(3).
RETURN
This function returns True if the character position is displayed in the Text widget; otherwise, it returns False, and no x or y value is
returned.
