NAME

6       XmTextPosToXY — A Text function that accesses the x and y position of a
7       character position
8

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <Xm/Text.h>
11       Boolean XmTextPosToXY(
12       Widget widget,
13       XmTextPosition position,
14       Position *x,
15       Position *y);
16

DESCRIPTION

18       XmTextPosToXY accesses the x and y position, relative to the upper left
19       corner  of  the  Text widget, of a given character position in the text
20       buffer.
21
22       In the case of horizontal writing, the position is the  origin  of  the
23       character.  In the case of vertical writing, the position is the verti‐
24       cal origin of the character.
25
26       widget    Specifies the Text widget ID
27
28       position  Specifies the character position in the text for which the  x
29                 and  y  position  is  accessed.  This is an integer number of
30                 characters from the beginning of the buffer. The first  char‐
31                 acter position is 0 (zero).
32
33       x         Specifies  the  pointer  in which the x position is returned.
34                 The returned position is the distance from the left  side  of
35                 the  widget  to the left border of the character.  This value
36                 is meaningful only if the function returns True.
37
38       y         Specifies the pointer in which the y  position  is  returned.
39                 The  returned  position  is  the distance from the top of the
40                 widget to the character's baseline.  This value is meaningful
41                 only if the function returns True.

RETURN

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