XmTextPosToXY(3X)

     NAME
          XmTextPosToXY - A Text function that accesses the x and y
          position of a character position

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

     VERSION
          This page documents Motif 2.1.

     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 yposition 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.

          resources, see XmText(3).

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