TextView.getIterAtPosition
bool getIterAtPosition(out gtk.text_iter.TextIter iter, out int trailing, int x, int y)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 gtk.text_view.TextView.windowToBufferCoords.
Note that this is different from gtk.text_view.TextView.getIterAtLocation, which returns cursor locations, i.e. positions between characters.
Parameters
iter | a gtk.text_iter.TextIter |
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. |
x | x position, in buffer coordinates |
y | y position, in buffer coordinates |
Returns
true if the position is over text
