Signature

Herror T_get_tposition(const Htuple WindowHandle, Htuple* Row, Htuple* Column)

void GetTposition(const HTuple& WindowHandle, HTuple* Row, HTuple* Column)

static void HOperatorSet.GetTposition(HTuple windowHandle, out HTuple row, out HTuple column)

void HWindow.GetTposition(out int row, out int column)

Description

get_tpositionget_tpositionGetTpositionGetTpositionGetTposition queries the current position of the text cursor in the output window. The position is measured in the image coordinate system. The next output of text in this window starts at the cursor position. The left end of the baseline for writing the next string (not considering descenders) is placed on this position. The position is changed by the output or input of text (write_stringwrite_stringWriteStringWriteStringWriteString, read_stringread_stringReadStringReadStringReadString) or by an explicit change of position by (set_tpositionset_tpositionSetTpositionSetTpositionSetTposition, new_linenew_lineNewLineNewLineNewLine).

Attention

If the output text does not fit completely into the window, an exception is raised. This can be avoided by set_check('~text')set_check("~text")SetCheck("~text")SetCheck("~text")SetCheck("~text").
