gtkTextViewGetIterAtPosition: gtkTextViewGetIterAtPosition

Description

Retrieves the iterator pointing to the character at buffer coordinates x and y. Buffer coordinates are coordinates for the entire buffer, not just the currently-displayed portion. If you have coordinates from an event, you have to convert those to buffer coordinates with gtkTextViewWindowToBufferCoords.

Usage

gtkTextViewGetIterAtPosition(object, x, y)

Arguments

object

a GtkTextView

x

x position, in buffer coordinates

y

y position, in buffer coordinates

Value

A list containing the following elements:

iter

a GtkTextIter. [ out ]

trailing

if non-NULL, location to store an integer indicating where in the grapheme the user clicked. It will either be zero, or the number of characters in the grapheme. 0 represents the trailing edge of the grapheme. [ out ][ allow-none ]

Details

Note that this is different from gtkTextViewGetIterAtLocation, which returns cursor locations, i.e. positions between characters. Since 2.6
