Function

Summary

Specifies the placement of the composition window relative to the pane. Composition here mean composing input characters into other characters by an input method.

Signature

set-composition-placement pane x y &key width height force

Description

The function set-composition-placement tells the system where to place the composition window in pixel coordinates relative to the pane pane .

On systems where the composition text is displayed by the application (rather than by the system, when the composition callback is called with a plist), the placement coordinates are used to place the composition menu when it is raised.

x and y are the top left coordinates. If both width and height are supplied, they specify the dimensions of the composition window. If force is supplied with a true value, the coordinates are forced, overriding adjustments that the system may otherwise do.

x , y and, when supplied, width and height must all be positive integers.

Notes

set-composition-placement does not raise the composition window. It merely tells the system where to place the composition window when it does appear.
