CONVERT Given the coordinates of a point in one coordinate system, CONVERT returns the corresponding coordinates for the point in another coordinate system. The converted coordinates are returned using the "to_x_integer" and "to_y_integer" parameters. Syntax CONVERT ({DECW_ROOT_WINDOW | SCREEN | window}, {CHARACTERS | COORDINATES}, from_x_integer, from_y_integer, {DECW_ROOT_WINDOW | SCREEN | window}, {CHARACTERS | COORDINATES}, to_x_integer, to_y_integer) Parameters DECW_ROOT_WINDOW Specifies the coordinate system being used by the root window of the screen on which DECTPU is running. SCREEN Specifies the coordinate system being used by the DECwindows window associated with DECTPU's top-level widget. window Specifies the coordinate system being used by the DECTPU window. CHARACTERS Specifies a character-cell system for measuring screen distance. In a character-based system, the point in the top row and the left-most column has the coordinate (1,1). COORDINATES Specifies a DECwindows-style coordinate system in which coordinate units correspond to pixels. The pixel in the top row and the leftmost column has the coordinates (0,0). from_x_integer and from_y_integer Specify a a point in the coordinate system and units specified by the first two parameters. to_x_integer and to_y_integer Receive the two integers specifying a point in the coordinate system and units specified by the fifth and sixth parameter. The point specified by these integers corresponds to the point specified by the first four parameters. Example The following procedure converts a point's location from the current window's coordinate system (with the origin in the upper left-hand corner of the window) to the DECTPU screen's coordinate system (with the origin in the upper left-hand corner of the DECTPU screen). If the current window is not the top window, CONVERT changes the value of the y-coordinate to reflect the difference in the DECTPU screen's coordinate system.
