NAME
       XmTextGetBaseline -- A Text function that accesses the y position of
       the baseline

SYNOPSIS
       #include <Xm/Text.h>
       int XmTextGetBaseline(
       Widget widget);

DESCRIPTION
       XmTextGetBaseline accesses the y position of the baseline in the Text
       widget, relative to the y position of the top of the widget.

       In vertical mode (when the XmNlayoutDirection resource is
       XmTOP_TO_BOTTOM) this function returns 0 and the program should use
       XmTextGetCenterline

       widget    Specifies the Text widget ID

       For a complete definition of Text and its associated resources, see
       XmText(3).

RETURN
       Returns an integer value that indicates the y position of the baseline
       in the Text widget.  The calculation takes into account the margin
       height, shadow thickness, highlight thickness, and font ascent of the
       first font (set) in the fontlist used for drawing text.  In this
       calculation, the y position of the top of the widget is 0 (zero).
