XDrawImageString()														XDrawImageString()

Name
  XDrawImageString - draw 8-bit image text characters.

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

Arguments
  display   Specifies a connection to an X server; returned from XOpenDisplay().

  drawable  Specifies the drawable.

  gc	    Specifies the graphics context.

  x	    Specify  the  x  and  y coordinates of the baseline starting position for the image text character, relative to the origin of the
  y	    specified drawable.

  string    Specifies the character string.

  length    Specifies the number of characters in the string argument.

Description
  XDrawImageString draws a string, but unlike XDrawString() it draws both the foreground and the background of the characters.	It draws  the
  characters in the foreground and fills the bounding box with the background.

  XDrawImageString()  uses  these  graphics  context  components:   plane_mask,  foreground, background, font, subwindow_mode, clip_x_origin,
  clip_y_ origin, and clip_mask.  The function and fill_style defined in gc are ignored; the effective function is GXcopy and  the  effective
  fill_style is FillSolid.

  XDrawImageString()  first  fills  a  destination rectangle with the background pixel defined in gc, and then paints 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  and  the  height  is
  ascent + descent, where overall->width, ascent, and descent are as would be returned by XQueryTextExtents() using gc and string.

  For  fonts  defined  with  2-byte matrix indexing and used with XDrawImageString(), each byte is used as a byte2 with a byte1 of zero.  For
  more information, see Volume One, Chapter 6, Drawing Graphics and Text, and Chapter 5, The Graphics Context.
