Position *x,

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

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.
