XDrawImageString(3X11)  COMMAND REFERENCE  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
     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.

     x
     y         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 foreground 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
     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.
