XmbDrawImageString(3) XLIB FUNCTIONS XmbDrawImageString(3)
NAME
XmbDrawImageString, XwcDrawImageString, Xutf8DrawImageString - draw im-
age text using a single font set
SYNTAX
void XmbDrawImageString(Display *display, Drawable d, XFontSet font_set,
GC gc, int x, int y, _Xconst char *string, int num_bytes);
void XwcDrawImageString(Display *display, Drawable d, XFontSet font_set,
GC gc, int x, int y, _Xconst wchar_t *string, int num_wchars);
void Xutf8DrawImageString(Display *display, Drawable d, XFontSet
font_set, GC gc, int x, int y, _Xconst char *string, int
num_bytes);
ARGUMENTS
d Specifies the drawable.
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
font_set Specifies the font set.
gc Specifies the GC.
num_bytes Specifies the number of bytes in the string argument.
num_wchars
Specifies the number of characters in the string argument.
string Specifies the character string.
x
y Specify the x and y coordinates.
DESCRIPTION
The XmbDrawImageString, XwcDrawImageString and Xutf8DrawImageString
functions fill a destination rectangle with the background pixel defined
in the GC and then paint the text with the foreground pixel. The filled
rectangle is the rectangle returned to overall_logical_return by XmbTex-
tExtents, XwcTextExtents or Xutf8TextExtents for the same text and
XFontSet.
When the XFontSet has missing charsets, each unavailable character is
drawn with the default string returned by XCreateFontSet. The behavior
for an invalid codepoint is undefined.
The function Xutf8TextExtents is an extension introduced by The XFree86
Project, Inc., in their 4.0.2 release. Its presence is indicated by the
macro X_HAVE_UTF8_STRING.
