I want to retrieve graphical position on a page for a searched text

from pdftotext.

It is not yet implemented (the original goal of this class was simply to
extract text from pdf files).

Currently I�m not tracking graphical coordinates ; I�m just processing text
drawing instructions in the order they arrive, hoping that they arrive in
the correct order (which is not the case sometimes�).

I plan in the future to write a version 2 of my class that will try to
approximate the graphical page layout into an ascii page layout, which will
be a tough task. But you�ll have to be patient for that� However, in that
context, it will make sense that this version 2 keeps track of graphical
text coordinates, so I add it to my todo list.
