## get_index_by_position(position) {#float}

Gets the index of a tab stop with the specified position in points.


```python
def get_index_by_position(self, position: float):
    ...
```

| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| position | float |  |

### Examples

Shows how to look up a position to see if a tab stop exists there and obtain its index.

```python
doc = aw.Document()
tab_stops = doc.first_section.body.paragraphs[0].paragraph_format.tab_stops
# Add a tab stop at a position of 30mm.
tab_stops.add(position=aw.ConvertUtil.millimeter_to_point(30), alignment=aw.TabAlignment.LEFT, leader=aw.TabLeader.DASHES)
# A result of "0" returned by "GetIndexByPosition" confirms that a tab stop
# at 30mm exists in this collection, and it is at index 0.
self.assertEqual(0, tab_stops.get_index_by_position(aw.ConvertUtil.millimeter_to_point(30)))
# A "-1" returned by "GetIndexByPosition" confirms that
# there is no tab stop in this collection with a position of 60mm.
self.assertEqual(-1, tab_stops.get_index_by_position(aw.ConvertUtil.millimeter_to_point(60)))
```
