NAME

XmbDrawText, XwcDrawText − draw text using multiple font sets

SYNTAX

void XmbDrawText(display, d, gc, x, y, items, nitems)
      Display ∗display;
      Drawable d;
      GC gc;
      int x, y;
      XmbTextItem ∗items;
      int nitems;

void XwcDrawText(display, d, gc, x, y, items, nitems)
      Display ∗display;
      Drawable d;
      GC gc;
      int x, y;
      XwcTextItem ∗items;
      int nitems;

ARGUMENTS

dSpecifies the drawable. 

displaySpecifies the connection to the X server. 

gcSpecifies the GC. 

itemsSpecifies an array of text items. 

nitemsSpecifies the number of text items in the array. 

x

ySpecify the x and y coordinates. 

DESCRIPTION

XmbDrawText and XwcDrawText allow complex spacing and font set shifts between text strings.  Each text item is processed in turn, with the origin of a text element advanced in the primary draw direction by the escapement of the previous text item.  A text item delta specifies an additional escapement of the text item drawing origin in the primary draw direction.  A font_set member other than None in an item causes the font set to be used for this and subsequent text items in the text_items list.  Leading text items with font_set member set to None will not be drawn. 

XmbDrawText and XwcDrawText do not perform any context-dependent rendering between text segments.  Clients may compute the drawing metrics by passing each text segment to XmbTextExtents and XwcTextExtents or XmbTextPerCharExtents and XwcTextPerCharExtents .  When the XFontSet has missing charsets, each unavailable character is drawn with the default string returned by XCreateFontSet .  The behavior for an invalid codepoint is undefined.
