These functions are useful for decoding scroll bar events.
This function returns the fractional vertical position of a scroll bar event within the scroll bar. The value is a cons cell
)containing two integers whose ratio is the fractional position.
This function multiplies (in effect) ratio by total, rounding the result to an integer. The argument ratio is not a number, but rather a pair
)—typically a value returned by
This function is handy for scaling a position on a scroll bar into a buffer position. Here's how to do that:(+ (point-min) (scroll-bar-scale (posn-x-y (event-start event)) (- (point-max) (point-min))))
Recall that scroll bar events have two integers forming a ratio, in place of a pair of x and y coordinates.
