SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Text.h>

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

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

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.
