mdraw_default_line_break
mdraw_default_line_break(3m17n) The m17n Library mdraw_default_line_break(3m17n)
NAME
mdraw_default_line_break - Calculate a line breaking position.
SYNOPSIS
int mdraw_default_line_break (MText * mt, int pos, int from, int to, int line, int y)
DESCRIPTION
Calculate a line breaking position. The function mdraw_default_line_break() calculates a line breaking position based on the line number
line and the coordinate y, when a line is too long to fit within the width limit. pos is the position of the character next to the last
one that fits within the limit. from is the position of the first character of the line, and to is the position of the last character
displayed on the line if there were not width limit. line and y are reset to 0 when a line is broken by a newline character, and
incremented each time when a long line is broken because of the width limit.
RETURN VALUE
This function returns a character position to break the line.
