get-snip-location in editor<%>

Gets the location of the given snip. If the snip is found in the editor, #t is returned; otherwise, #f is returned.

The result is only valid when the editor is displayed (see Basic Organization). As a special case, however, a pasteboard% object always reports valid answers when bottom-right? is #f. For text% objects, calling this method may force the recalculation of location information if a maximum width is set for the editor, even if the editor currently has delayed refreshing (see refresh-delayed?).

• (send an-editor get-snip-location thesnip x y bottom-right?) -> boolean
     thesnip : snip% object
     x = #f : boxed real number or #f
   y = #f : boxed real number or #f
   bottom-right? = #f : boolean

  The x box is filled with the x-coordinate of the snip's location, unless x is #f. The y box is filled with the y-coordinate of the snip's location, unless y is #f.

  If bottom-right? is not #f, the values in the x and y boxes are for the snip's bottom right corner instead of its top-left corner.

  Obtaining the location if the bottom-right corner may trigger delayed size calculations (including snips other than the one whose location was requested).
