.SH NAME
mdraw_coordinates_position \- Return the character position nearest to the coordinates. 


.SH SYNOPSIS
int
\fBmdraw_coordinates_position\fP (\fBMFrame\fP *
\fIframe\fP, \fBMText\fP *
\fImt\fP, int
\fIfrom\fP, int
\fIto\fP, int
\fIx_offset\fP, int
\fIy_offset\fP, \fBMDrawControl\fP *
\fIcontrol\fP)


.SH DESCRIPTION
Return the character position nearest to the coordinates. 
.PP
The
.ft B
mdraw_coordinates_position()
.ft R
function checks which character is to be drawn at coordinate (\fBx\fP,
.ft R
.ft B
y\fP) when the text between
.ft B
from
.ft R
and
.ft B
to
.ft R
of M\-text
.ft B
mt
.ft R
is drawn at the coordinate (0, 0) using the
.ft B
mdraw_text_with_control()
.ft R
function with the drawing control object
.ft B
control\fP.
.ft R
Here, the character position means the number of characters that precede the character in question in
.ft B
mt\fP,
.ft R
that is, the character position of the first character is 0.
.PP
\fBframe
.ft R
is used only to get the default face information.
.PP
.SH RETURN VALUE
.PP
.RS 4
If the glyph image of a character covers coordinate (\fBx\fP,
.ft R
.ft B
y\fP),
.ft B
mdraw_coordinates_position()
.ft R
returns the character position of that character.
.br

.br
 If
.ft B
y
.ft R
is less than the minimum Y\-coordinate of the drawn area, it returns
.ft B
from\fP.
.ft R
.br

.br
 If
.ft B
y
.ft R
is greater than the maximum Y\-coordinate of the drawn area, it returns
.ft B
to\fP.
.ft R
.br

.br
 If
.ft B
y
.ft R
fits in with the drawn area but
.ft B
x
.ft R
is less than the minimum X\-coordinate, it returns the character position of the first character drawn on the line
.ft B
y\fP.
.ft R
.br

.br
 If
.ft B
y
.ft R
fits in with the drawn area but
.ft B
x
.ft R
is greater than the maximum X\-coordinate, it returns the character position of the last character drawn on the line
.ft B
y\fP.
