Relation between a text locate and a graphic locate

-----------------------------------

What is it you are trying to achieve?

I am trying to figure out if there is a simple algorithm to convert a graphic locate into a text locate


What is the problem you are having?
I'm not smart enough to figure it out on my own  :lol: 

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
4.0.5

I know that I cannot just take the coordinates from a graphic locate and use them with a text locate.A graphic locate uses each individual pixel on the screen as a reference instead of several pixels like the text locate, therefore when if I were to try and use a value of 625 (the 625th pixel), I'd get a max row error, 625 is greater than max row 125.

values of [tdoc]maxx[/tdoc] and [tdoc]maxcol[/tdoc] should give you enough information to figure this out.

Here's an even bigger hint. To find the horizontal pixel size of one character's area: maxx/maxcol. To find the vertical pixel size: maxy/maxrow.

That hint is so big, it's almost a solution :lol:
