XmTextGetBaseline(3X)

     NAME
          XmTextGetBaseline - A Text function that accesses the y
          position of the baseline

     SYNOPSIS
          #include <Xm/Text.h>
          int XmTextGetBaseline(
          Widget widget);

     VERSION
          This page documents Motif 2.1.

     DESCRIPTION
          XmTextGetBaseline accesses the y position of the baseline in
          the Text widget, relative to the y position of the top of
          the widget.

          In vertical mode (when the XmNlayoutDirection resource is
          XmTOP_TO_BOTTOM) this function returns 0 and the program
          should use XmTextGetCenterline

          widget    Specifies the Text widget ID

          For a complete definition of Text and its associated
          resources, see XmText(3).

     RETURN
          Returns an integer value that indicates the y position of
          the baseline in the Text widget.  The calculation takes into
          account the margin height, shadow thickness, highlight
          thickness, and font ascent of the first font (set) in the
          fontlist used for drawing text.  In this calculation, the y
          position of the top of the widget is 0 (zero).
