XmStringDraw(3X)              SDK X11 R4.11MU05             XmStringDraw(3X)


NAME
       XmStringDraw--A compound string function that draws a compound string
       in an X window

SYNOPSIS
       #include <Xm/Xm.h>

       void XmStringDraw (d, w, fontlist, string, gc, x, y, width, alignment, layout_direction, clip)
            Display   * d;
            Window    w;
            XmFontListfontlist;
            XmString  string;
            GC        gc;
            Position  x;
            Position  y;
            Dimension width;
            unsigned charalignment;
            unsigned charlayout_direction;
            XRectangle* clip;


DESCRIPTION
       XmStringDraw draws a compound string in an X Window.  If a compound
       string segment uses a font list entry that defines a font set, the
       graphic context passed to this routine will have the GC font member
       left in an undefined state.  The underlying XmbStringDraw function
       called by this routine modifies the font id field of the GC passed
       into it and does not attempt to restore the font id to the incoming
       value.  If the compound string segment is not drawn using a font set,
       the graphic context must contain a valid font member.  Graphic
       contexts created by XtGetGC are not valid for this routine; instead,
       use XtAllocateGC to create a graphic context.


        d           Specifies the display.

        w           Specifies the window.

        fontlist    Specifies the font list.

        string      Specifies the string.

        gc          Specifies the graphics context to use.

        x           Specifies a coordinate of the rectangle that will
                    contain the displayed compound string.

        y           Specifies a coordinate of the rectangle that will
                    contain the displayed compound string.

        width       Specifies the width of the rectangle that will contain
                    the displayed compound string.

        alignment   Specifies how the string will be aligned within the
                    specified rectangle.  It is either
                    XmALIGNMENT_BEGINNING, XmALIGNMENT_CENTER, or
                    XmALIGNMENT_END.

        layout_direction
                    Controls the direction in which the segments of the
                    compound string will be laid out.  It also determines
                    the meaning of the alignment parameter.

        clip        Allows the application to restrict the area into which
                    the compound string will be drawn.  If NULL, no clipping
                    will be done.
