In RGtk2: R Bindings for Gtk 2.8.0 and Above

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s)

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.

1	gtkTextViewGetIterAtPosition(object, x, y)

`object`	a `GtkTextView`
`x`	x position, in buffer coordinates
`y`	y position, in buffer coordinates

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

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 ]
