PgLayout.xyToIndex

Converts from X and Y position within a layout to the byte index to the character at that logical position.

If the Y position is not inside the layout, the closest position is chosen (the position will be clamped inside the layout). If the X position is not within the layout, then the start or the end of the line is chosen as described for [method@Pango.LayoutLine.x_to_index]. If either the X or Y positions were not inside the layout, then the function returns %FALSE; on an exact hit, it returns %TRUE.
