XDrawImageString(3X11)      X Version 11(Release 5)      XDrawImageString(3X11)


NAME
      XDrawImageString, XDrawImageString16 - draw image text

SYNTAX
      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.
