Find cursor position on the screen

This package aimed to provide one or more functions to get informations about the position on the screen of a visible point. With this information someone can create a frame near the point and provide a completion UI for example.

Why make a package for such a small thing ?

Because I saw more than one Emacs package doing that thing and I needed it too.

I prefer to do that in a separate file because:

• it can be used by one or more package
• it can be enhanced to handle different window systems more accurately

Note

At the moment of this writing the code is shamelessly stolen from the esense package.

Here is a list of packages that implements similar routines inside their code.

• esense
• Pos Tip
• tooltip-help.el
• csense.el
• dframe-reposition-frame-emacs in dframe.el (shipped with Emacs)
