XDrawString16() 														   XDrawString16()

Name
  XDrawString16 - draw two-byte text strings.

Synopsis
  XDrawString16(display, drawable, gc, x, y, string, length)
	Display *display;
	Drawable drawable;
	GC gc;
	int x, y;
	XChar2b *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 character, relative to the origin of the specified
  y	    drawable.

  string    Specifies the character string.  Characters are two bytes wide.

  length    Specifies the number of characters in string.

Description
  XDrawString16() draws a string in the foreground pixel value without drawing the surrounding pixels.

  The y coordinate defines the baseline row of pixels while the x coordinate is the point from which lbearing, rbearing, and width  are  mea-
  sured.  For more information on text placement, see Volume One, Chapter 6, Drawing Graphics and Text.

  XDrawString16()  uses these graphics context components: function, plane_mask, fill_style, font, subwindow_mode, clip_x_origin, clip_y_ori-
  gin, and clip_mask.  This function also uses these graphics context  mode-dependent  components:  foreground,  background,  tile,  stipple,
  ts_x_origin, and ts_y_origin.  Each character image, as defined by the font in gc, is treated as an additional mask for a fill operation on
  the drawable.  For fonts defined with 2-byte matrix indexing and used with XDrawString16(), 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.
