app

the standard custom layer context pointer

view_id

the id of the view who's layout will be measured

base_line

the line number of the line that serves as the relative starting point of the measurement

pos

the absolute byte index of the position to query

the rectangle around a character in the layout that is closest to including the given query position in it's span, with coordinates set relative to the top left corner of the base line, on success, when the view exists and contains the base line and query position, cleared to zero otherwise

Line numbers are 1 based.
