minput_set_spot

minput_set_spot(3m17n)						 The m17n Library					    minput_set_spot(3m17n)

NAME

       minput_set_spot - Set the spot of the input context.

SYNOPSIS

       void minput_set_spot (MInputContext * ic, int x, int y, int ascent, int descent, int fontsize, MText * mt, int pos)

DESCRIPTION

       Set the spot of the input context. The minput_set_spot() function sets the spot of input context ic to coordinate (x, y ) with the height
       specified by ascent and descent.  The semantics of these values depends on the input method driver.

       For instance, a driver designed to work in a CUI environment may use x and y as the column- and row numbers, and may ignore ascent and
       descent.  A driver designed to work in a window system may interpret x and y as the pixel offsets relative to the origin of the client
       window, and may interpret ascent and descent as the ascent- and descent pixels of the line at (x.  y ).

       fontsize specifies the fontsize of preedit text in 1/10 point.

       mt and pos are the M-text and the character position at the spot.  mt may be NULL, in which case, the input method cannot get information
       about the text around the spot.
