--- name: "minput_set_spot" section: "3m17n" platform: "linux" package: "m17n-docs" version: "1.8.4-1" release: "Debian 13 (Trixie)" platforms: ["linux"] url: "https://new.carta.tech/minput_set_spot" --- # minput\_set\_spot(3m17n) ## NAME minput\_set\_spot - ## SYNOPSIS void **minput\_set\_spot** (**MInputContext** \* *ic*, int *x*, int *y*, int *ascent*, int *descent*, int *fontsize*, **MText** \* *mt*, int *pos*) ## DESCRIPTION Set the spot of the input context. The **minput\_set\_spot()** function sets the spot of input context **ic** to coordinate (**x**, **y** ) with the height specified by **ascent** and **descent** . The semantics of these values depends on the input method driver. For instance, a driver designed to work in a CUI environment may use **x** and **y** as the column- and row numbers, and may ignore **ascent** and **descent** . A driver designed to work in a window system may interpret **x** and **y** as the pixel offsets relative to the origin of the client window, and may interpret **ascent** and **descent** as the ascent- and descent pixels of the line at (**x** . **y** ). **fontsize** specifies the fontsize of preedit text in 1/10 point. **mt** and **pos** are the M-text and the character position at the spot. **mt** may be `NULL`, in which case, the input method cannot get information about the text around the spot. \ ## COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 2001 Information-technology Promotion Agency (IPA)\ Copyright (C) 2001-2011 National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST)\ Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License \.
