NAME
XDrawString, XDrawString16 - draw text characters
SYNTAX
int XDrawString\^(\^Display *display\^, Drawable d\^, GC
gc\^, int x\^, int y\^, char *string\^, int
length\^);
int XDrawString16\^(\^Display *display\^, Drawable d\^, GC
gc\^, int x\^, int y\^, XChar2b *string\^, int
length\^);
ARGUMENTS
d
Specifies the drawable.
display
Specifies the connection to the X server.
gc
Specifies the GC.
length
Specifies the number of characters in the string argument.
string
Specifies the character string.
x
y
Specify the x and y coordinates.
DESCRIPTION
Each character image, as defined by the font in the GC, is treated as an
additional mask for a fill operation on the drawable.
The drawable is modified only where the font character has a bit set to 1.
For fonts defined with 2-byte matrix indexing
and used with
each byte is used as a byte2 with a byte1 of zero.
Both functions use these GC components:
function, plane-mask, fill-style, font, subwindow-mode, clip-x-origin,
clip-y-origin, and clip-mask.
They also use these GC mode-dependent components:
foreground, background, tile, stipple, tile-stipple-x-origin,
and tile-stipple-y-origin.
and
can generate
and
errors.
DIAGNOSTICS
A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Window or Pixmap.
A value for a GContext argument does not name a defined GContext.
An
window is used as a Drawable.
Some argument or pair of arguments has the correct type and range but fails
to match in some other way required by the request.
