XDrawImageString(3X11)													    XDrawImageString(3X11)

NAME

       XDrawImageString, XDrawImageString16 - draw image text

SYNOPSIS

       XDrawImageString(display, d, gc, x, y, string, length)
	       Display *display;
	       Drawable d;
	       GC gc;
	       int x, y;
	       char *string;
	       int length;

       XDrawImageString16(display, d, gc, x, y, string, length)
	       Display *display;
	       Drawable d;
	       GC gc;
	       int x, y;
	       XChar2b *string;
	       int length;

ARGUMENTS

       Specifies  the  drawable.   Specifies  the connection to the X server.  Specifies the GC.  Specifies the number of characters in the string
       argument.  Specifies the character string.  Specify the x and y coordinates, which are relative to the origin  of  the  specified  drawable
       and define the origin of the first character.

DESCRIPTION

       The  XDrawImageString16	function  is similar to XDrawImageString except that it uses 2-byte or 16-bit characters.  Both functions also use
       both the foreground and background pixels of the GC in the destination.

       The effect is first to fill a destination rectangle with the background pixel defined in the GC and then to paint the text with	the  fore-
       ground pixel.  The upper-left corner of the filled rectangle is at:

       [x, y - font-ascent]

       The width is:

       overall-width

       The height is:

       font-ascent + font-descent

       The  overall-width, font-ascent, and font-descent are as would be returned by XQueryTextExtents using gc and string. The function and fill-
       style defined in the GC are ignored for these functions. The effective function is GXcopy, and the effective fill-style is FillSolid.

       For fonts defined with 2-byte matrix indexing and used with XDrawImageString, each byte is used as a byte2 with a byte1 of zero.

       Both functions use these GC components: plane-mask, foreground, background, font, subwindow-mode, clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin,	and  clip-
       mask.

       XDrawImageString and XDrawImageString16 can generate BadDrawable, BadGC, and BadMatch 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 GCon-
       text.  An InputOnly 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.
