The below is a simple version, and it works well for pyim and is easy
understand.

(defun pyim-tooltip-compute-pixel-position (pos pixel-width pixel-height)
  "Return pixel position of POS in WINDOW, which indicates relative
coordinates of bottom left corner of the object, its returned value is
like (X . Y)

If PIXEL-WIDTH and PIXEL-HEIGHT are given, this function regard these
values as the size of a small window located around the POS, for example:
tooltip. These values are used to adjust the small window's location and
let it not disappear by sticking out of the display.

This function is shameless steal from pos-tip."
