get_cursor_locations


Description:

public void get_cursor_locations (TextIter? iter, out Rectangle strong, out Rectangle @weak)

Determine the positions of the strong and weak cursors if the insertion point is at iter.

The position of each cursor is stored as a zero-width rectangle. The strong cursor location is the location where characters of the directionality equal to the base direction of the paragraph are inserted. The weak cursor location is the location where characters of the directionality opposite to the base direction of the paragraph are inserted.

If iter is null, the actual cursor position is used.

Note that if iter happens to be the actual cursor position, and there is currently an IM preedit sequence being entered, the returned locations will be adjusted to account for the preedit cursor’s offset within the preedit sequence.

The rectangle position is in buffer coordinates; use [method@Gtk.TextView.buffer_to_window_coords] to convert these coordinates to coordinates for one of the windows in the text view.

Parameters:

this

a `GtkTextView`

iter

a `GtkTextIter`

strong

location to store the strong cursor position

weak

location to store the weak cursor position
