NAME
XDrawString, XDrawString16 - draw text characters
SYNTAX
XDrawString(display, d, gc, x, y, string, length) Display *display; Drawable d; GC gc; int x, y; char *string; int length; XDrawString16(display, d, gc, x, y, string, length) Display *display; Drawable d; GC gc; int x, 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. and define the origin of the first character x y Specify the x and y coordinates, which are relative to the origin of the specified drawable.
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 draw- able is modified only where the font character has a bit set to 1. For fonts defined with 2-byte matrix indexing and used with XDraw- String16, 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. XDrawString and XDrawString16 can generate BadDrawable, BadGC, and BadMatch errors.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadDrawable A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Window or Pixmap. BadGC A value for a GContext argument does not name a defined GContext. BadMatch An InputOnly window is used as a Drawable. BadMatch Some argument or pair of arguments has the correct type and range but fails to match in some other way required by the request.
