XDrawImageString(3X11)	  XLIB FUNCTIONS   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 rela
		 tive to the origin of the specified drawable and
		 define the origin of the first character.

DESCRIPTION
       The XDrawImageString16 function is similar to XDrawIm_
       ageString 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, fore
       ground, 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 cor
		 rect type and range but fails to match in some
		 other way required by the request.
