NAME

       XmTextPosToXY  —  A  Text  function  that  accesses  the  x  and  y  position  of  a  character  position
       "XmTextPosToXY" "Text functions" "XmTextPosToXY"

SYNOPSIS

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

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 text buffer.

       In  the  case of horizontal writing, the position is the origin of the character. In the case of vertical
       writing, the position is the vertical origin of the character.

       widget    Specifies the Text 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 (zero).

       x         Specifies the pointer in which the x position  is  returned.   The  returned  position  is  the
                 distance  from  the left side of the widget 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.

RETURN

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