x_to_index


Description:

public void x_to_index (string text, int length, Analysis analysis, int x_pos, out int index_, out int trailing)

Convert from x offset to character position.

Character positions are computed by dividing up each cluster into equal portions. In scripts where positioning within a cluster is not allowed (such as Thai), the returned value may not be a valid cursor position; the caller must combine the result with the logical attributes for the text to compute the valid cursor position.

Parameters:

this

the glyphs returned from [func@shape]

text

the text for the run

length

the number of bytes (not characters) in text.

analysis

the analysis information return from [func@itemize]

x_pos

the x offset (in Pango units)

index_

location to store calculated byte index within text

trailing

location to store a boolean indicating whether the user clicked on the leading or trailing edge of the character
