XmbDrawText()															     XmbDrawText()

Name
  XmbDrawText - draw internationalized multi-byte text using multiple font sets.

Synopsis
  void XmbDrawText(display, drawable, gc, x, y, items, nitems)
	Display *display;
	Drawable drawable;
	GC gc;
	int x, y;
	XmbTextItem *items;
	int nitems;

Arguments
  display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

  drawable  Specifies the drawable.

  gc	    Specifies the graphics context.

  x, y	    Specifies the starting position and baseline of the text, relative to the origin of the specified drawable.

  items     Specifies an array of text items.

  nitems    Specifies the number of text items in the array.

Description
  XmbDrawText() allows complex spacing and font set shifts between internationalized multi-byte text strings.  Each text item is processed in
  turn, with the origin of a text element advanced in the primary draw direction by the escapement of the previous text item.	A  text  item
  delta  specifies an additional escapement of the text item drawing origin in the primary draw direction.  A font_set member other than None
  in an item causes the font set to be used for this and subsequent text items in the items list.  Leading text items  with  font_set  member
  set to None will not be drawn.

  XmbDrawText()  does  not perform any context-dependent rendering between text segments.  Clients may compute the drawing metrics by passing
  each text segment to XmbTextExtents() or XmbTextPerCharExtents().  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.

  XmbDrawText()  draws	with  fonts  from the font sets of the items list rather than the font of the GC.  For this reason, it may modify the
  font value of the GC.  Except for the font, it uses the same GC components as its pre-X11R5 analog XDrawText().

Structures
  The XmbTextItem structure contains:

     typedef struct {
	    char *chars;	  /* pointer to string */
	    int nchars; 	  /* number of characters */
	    int delta;		  /* pixel delta between strings */
	    XFontSet font_set;	  /* fonts, None means don't change */
     } XmbTextItem;

NAME
XmbDrawText, XwcDrawText - draw text using multiple font sets SYNOPSIS
void XmbDrawText(display, d, gc, x, y, items, nitems) Display *display; Drawable d; GC gc; int x, y; XmbTextItem *items; int nitems; void XwcDrawText(display, d, gc, x, y, items, nitems) Display *display; Drawable d; GC gc; int x, y; XwcTextItem *items; int nitems; ARGUMENTS
Specifies the drawable. Specifies the connection to the X server. Specifies the GC. Specifies an array of text items. Specifies the number of text items in the array. Specify the x and y coordinates. DESCRIPTION
The XmbDrawText and XwcDrawText functions allow complex spacing and font set shifts between text strings. Each text item is processed in turn, with the origin of a text element advanced in the primary draw direction by the escapement of the previous text item. A text item delta specifies an additional escapement of the text item drawing origin in the primary draw direction. A font_set member other than None in an item causes the font set to be used for this and subsequent text items in the text_items list. Leading text items with a font_set member set to None will not be drawn. XmbDrawText and XwcDrawText do not perform any context-dependent rendering between text segments. Clients may compute the drawing metrics by passing each text segment to XmbTextExtents and XwcTextExtents or XmbTextPerCharExtents and XwcTextPerCharExtents. 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. STRUCTURES
The XmbTextItem structure contains: typedef struct { char *chars; /* pointer to string */ int nchars; /* number of bytes */ int delta; /* pixel delta between strings */ XFontSet font_set; /* fonts, None means do not change */ } XmbTextItem; The XwcTextItem structure contains: typedef struct { wchar_t *chars; /* pointer to wide char string */ int nchars; /* number of wide characters */ int delta; /* pixel delta between strings */ XFontSet font_set; /* fonts, None means do not change */ } XwcTextItem; SEE ALSO
