_GetTextPosition Procedure
◄Summary► ◄Details► ◄Example► ◄Back►
Arguments
r, c Integers to specify row and column position of cursor
Description
The _GetTextPosition procedure gets the current text position
relative to the current text window in the form (row, column).
The default text position given by coordinates (1,1) is defined
as the upper-left corner of the text window.
Text output from the _OutText and _OutMem procedures begins at the
current text position. _OutText, _OutMem, and _SetTextPosition can
all change this position. The current text position does not affect
either graphics output or font text.
