Method

Gtk.TextBuffer.get_iter_at_line_index

Declaration [src]

gboolean
gtk_text_buffer_get_iter_at_line_index (
  GtkTextBuffer* buffer,
  GtkTextIter* iter,
  int line_number,
  int byte_index
)

Description [src]

Obtains an iterator pointing to byte_index within the given line.

byte_index must be the start of a UTF-8 character. Note bytes, not characters; UTF-8 may encode one character as multiple bytes.

If line_number is greater than the number of lines in the buffer, the end iterator is returned. And if byte_index is off the end of the line, the iterator at the end of the line is returned.

Parameters

iterator to initialize

 Direction: out
 Ownership is not transferred to the callee
line_number int
 

line number counting from 0

byte_index int
 

byte index from start of line
