Displays a dialog in a given position on the screen.
Parameters/Return
int IupShowXY(Ihandle *ih, int x, int y); [in C] iup.ShowXY(ih: ihandle, x, y: number) -> (ret: number) [in Lua] or ih:showxy(x, y: number) -> (ret: number) [in Lua]
ih: identifier of the dialog.

- IUP_LEFT: Positions the dialog on the left corner of the screen
- IUP_CENTER: Horizontally centralizes the dialog on the screen
- IUP_RIGHT: Positions the dialog on the right corner of the screen
- IUP_MOUSEPOS: Positions the dialog on the mouse position
- IUP_CURRENT: use the current position of the dialog (at the first time the dialog is show is replaced by IUP_CENTER)
y: y coordinate of the dialog’s upper part. The following macros are valid:
- IUP_TOP: Positions the dialog on the top of the screen
- IUP_CENTER: Vertically centralizes the dialog on the screen
- IUP_BOTTOM: Positions the dialog on the base of the screen
- IUP_MOUSEPOS: Positions the dialog on the mouse position

This function returns IUP_NOERROR if sucessful. Returns IUP_INVALID if not a dialog. If there was an error returns IUP_ERROR.
Notes
Will call IupMap for the element.
See the IupDialog PLACEMENT attribute for other position and show options.
This function can be executed more than once for the same dialog. This will make the dialog be placed above all other dialogs in the application, changing its Z-order, and update its position and/or size on screen. IMPORTANT: Calling IupShow for a visible dialog shown with IupPopup does nothing.
