     DESCRIPTION
          XmTextGetCenterline accesses the x position of the
          centerline in the Text widget, relative to the x position of
          the top of the widget.

          widget    Specifies the Text widget ID.

     RETURN VALUE
          In the case of horizontal writing, this function accesses 0.

          x position of the first centerline in the Text widget,
          relative to the x position of the left of the widget.  The
          calculation takes into account the margin width, shadow
          thickness, highlight thickness, and a half of font width of
          the first font(set) in the fontlist used for drawing text.
