XmTextFieldPosToXY(library call)										  XmTextFieldPosToXY(library call)

NAME

       XmTextFieldPosToXY -- A TextField function that accesses the x and y position of a character position

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/TextF.h>
       Boolean XmTextFieldPosToXY(
       Widget widget,
       XmTextPosition position,
       Position *x,
       Position *y);

DESCRIPTION

       XmTextFieldPosToXY  accesses the x and y position, relative to the upper left corner of the TextField widget, of a given character position
       in the text buffer.

       widget	 Specifies the TextField 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.

       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 TextField and its associated resources, see XmTextField(3).

RETURN

       This function returns True if the character position is displayed in the TextField widget; otherwise, it returns False, and no x or y value
       is returned.
