XDrawImageString(3X11)		XLIB FUNCTIONS	       XDrawImageString(3X11)



NAME
       XDrawImageString, XDrawImageString16 - draw image text

SYNTAX
       int XDrawImageString(Display *display, Drawable d, GC gc, int x, int
	      y, char *string, int length);

       int XDrawImageString16(Display *display, Drawable d, GC gc, int x, int
	      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.  and define the origin of
		 the first character

       x
       y	 Specify the x and y coordinates, which are relative to the
		 origin of the specified drawable.

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 destina-
       tion.

       The effect is first to fill a destination rectangle with the back-
       ground 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 Fill-
       Solid.

       For fonts defined with 2-byte matrix indexing and used with XDrawIm-
       ageString, each byte is used as a byte2 with a byte1 of zero.

       Both functions use these GC components: plane-mask, foreground, back-
       ground, 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 Win-
		 dow 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.
