Generic font utilities.
These procedures are not X protocol wrappers. They may or may not make calls to the X server.
QueryPosInfo:
PROC [c: Xl.Connection, font: Xl.Fontable, text: Rope.
ROPE, x:
INT]
RETURNS [PosInfo];
Given an x coordinate and a font, returns according indices of text.
Reverse of Xl.QueryTextExtents; avoids calling the X server if font information is cached.
0 <= charIndex < Rope.Length[text]
0 <= gapIndex <= Rope.Length[text]
PosInfo:
TYPE =
RECORD [
charIndex: INT, --index of character closest to x
gapIndex: INT, --index of gap closest to x
gapX: INT --x position giving best match for gapIndex
];
