True if the text mark is visible.

Accessor for the visibility of a text mark.

The function gtk-text-mark-visible returns true if the text mark is visible, i.e. a cursor is displayed for it. The function (setf gtk-text-mark-visible) sets the visibility.

The insertion point is normally visible, i.e. you can see it as a vertical bar. Also, the text widget uses a visible text mark to indicate where a drop will occur when dragging-and-dropping text. Most other text marks are not visible. Text marks are not visible by default.
