C++SDK About IWaxStrand::GetTextIndexToWaxLineData

[琥珀 猫太郎]

IWaxStrand::GetTextIndexToWaxLineData is being used to obtain coordinates.
It seems to work fine, but when tables with two or more rows exist, it doesn't seem to work properly. Is this a bug?

do
{
	// -------------------------------------------------------------
	// Query Index
	// iScript : InsertionPointObjectScriptElement
	ScriptObject scriptObject = iScript->GetScriptObject(iScriptRequestData->GetRequestContext());
	ScriptData scriptData = scriptObject.specifierData;

	int32 int32_TargetIndex;
	scriptData.GetInt32(&int32_TargetIndex);

	// -------------------------------------------------------------
	// Query IWaxStrand
	InterfacePtr<ITextModel> iTextModel((ITextModel*)iScript->QueryParent(
		IID_ITEXTMODEL,
		iScriptRequestData->GetRequestContext()
	));
	if (!iTextModel) break;

	InterfacePtr<IWaxStrand> iWaxStrand(((IWaxStrand*)iTextModel->QueryStrand(kFrameListBoss, IID_IWAXSTRAND)));
	if (!iWaxStrand) break;
	
	// -------------------------------------------------------------
	// Recompose
	InterfacePtr<IFrameList> iFrameList(iWaxStrand, ::UseDefaultIID());
	if (!iFrameList) break;

	const int32 kNoDamage = -1;
	if (iFrameList->GetFirstDamagedFrameIndex() != kNoDamage) {
		// Recompose.
		InterfacePtr<IFrameListComposer> iFrameListComposer(iFrameList, UseDefaultIID());
		if (!iFrameListComposer) break;
		iFrameListComposer->RecomposeThruLastFrame();
	}

	// -------------------------------------------------------------
	// GetTextIndexToWaxLineData
	int32 int32_OffsetWithinLine;
	int32 int32_TextSpan;
	ParcelKey parcelKey;
	UID uID_Frame;
	PMReal pMReal_LineHeight;
	PMLineSeg pMLineSeg_Selection;
	PMPoint pMPoint_WaxPt;
	PMMatrix pMMatrix_WaxToFrameMatrix;
	PMMatrix pMMatrix_WaxToGlyphMatrix;
	bool16 result = iWaxStrand->GetTextIndexToWaxLineData(
		int32_TargetIndex,
		kFalse,
		&int32_OffsetWithinLine,
		&int32_TextSpan,
		&parcelKey,
		&uID_Frame,
		&pMReal_LineHeight,
		&pMLineSeg_Selection,
		&pMPoint_WaxPt,
		&pMMatrix_WaxToFrameMatrix,
		&pMMatrix_WaxToGlyphMatrix
	);

	// -------------------------------------------------------------
	// PointsToUnits
	InterfacePtr<IMeasurementSystem> iMeasurementSystem(::GetExecutionContextSession(), ::UseDefaultIID());
	InterfacePtr<IUnitOfMeasure> iUnitOfMeasure(iMeasurementSystem->QueryUnitOfMeasure(
		iMeasurementSystem->Location(kMillimetersBoss))
	);
	if (!iUnitOfMeasure) break;

	PMReal pMReal_mmValue = iUnitOfMeasure->PointsToUnits(pMPoint_WaxPt.X());

	PMString xCoordinate;
	xCoordinate.AsNumber(pMReal_mmValue);

	CAlert::InformationAlert(xCoordinate);

} while (false);

Modern AI is quite smart. When I asked it how to get character coordinates, it suggested the IWaxStrand::GetTextIndexToWaxLineData method. If it gives an incorrect answer, uploading the interface header seems to make it return much more accurate results.

The InsertionPoint's Index and the Story's TextIndex don't match, do they? It seems the text index increases by one each time a row is added to the table.
After adjusting that, it worked fine.

// Query TextCount of InsertionPointIndex
// Use value obtained by subtracting 1 from first argument of GetTextIndexToWaxLineData method.
int32 int32_TextCountForInsertionPointIndex = 0;

int32 int32_InsertionPointIndex = 0;
TextIterator textIterator_Begin(iTextModel, 0);
TextIterator textIterator_End(iTextModel, iTextModel->TotalLength());
for (TextIterator textIterator_iter = textIterator_Begin;
	textIterator_iter != textIterator_End;
	textIterator_iter++)
{
	int32_TextCountForInsertionPointIndex++;
	const UTF32TextChar uTF32TextChar_CharacterCode = *textIterator_iter;
	if (uTF32TextChar_CharacterCode == kTextChar_TableContinued) continue;
	if (int32_InsertionPointIndex == int32_TargetIndex) break;
	int32_InsertionPointIndex++;
}

Unable to retrieve the position of characters within the table; currently exploring possible solutions.
