 char* attributeName = "position";

 char* attributeValue;

 tixiOpenDocument( xmlFilename, &handle );
 tixiGetTextAttribute( handle, elementPath, attributeName, &attributeValue );
 tixiCloseDocument( handle );

• Retrieve x value of the coordinate origin.

 #include "tixi.h"

 char* xmlFilename = "ju.xml";
 TixiDocumentHandle handle = -1;
 char * elementPath = "/plane/coordinateOrigin/x";
