gtkTextViewGetIterAtPosition {RGtk2} | R Documentation

## 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

### Details

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

### 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 ]
