### Method

# Pango LayoutLinex_to_index

#### Declaration [src]

    gboolean
    pango_layout_line_x_to_index (
      PangoLayoutLine* line,
      int x_pos,
      int* index_,
      int* trailing
    )

#### Description [src]

Converts from x offset to the byte index of the corresponding character within the text of the layout.

If `x_pos` is outside the line, `index_` and `trailing` will point to the very first or very last position in the line. This determination is based on the resolved direction of the paragraph; for example, if the resolved direction is right-to-left, then an X position to the right of the line (after it) results in 0 being stored in `index_` and `trailing`. An X position to the left of the line results in `index_` pointing to the (logical) last grapheme in the line and `trailing` being set to the number of characters in that grapheme. The reverse is true for a left-to-right line.

#### Parameters

`x_pos`

  Type: `int`

  The X offset (in Pango units) from the left edge of the line.

`index_`

  Type: `int*`

  Location to store calculated byte index for the grapheme in which the user clicked.

  The argument will be set by the function.

`trailing`

  Type: `int*`

  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 leading edge of the grapheme.

  The argument will be set by the function.

#### Return value

Type: `gboolean`

`FALSE` if `x_pos` was outside the line, `TRUE` if inside.
