Hi, OK, I've dug through the emacs-lisp manual and the source code, and I must be either blind or stupid (or both ;-). Given a (visible) point (i.e., "(point)") in a particular window, how does one get the corresponding pixel co-ordinates? Co-ordinates relative to either the window or the frame are welcome. Getting co-ordinates from a mouse event is trivial, but I want to get the co-ordinates of the cursor as I type. I'm writing yet another "mini IntelliSense" mode, and I need to find the rough pixel co-ordinates of the cursor, so that I can pop up a little help window next to it (similar to balloon-help).
