NAME

XmbDrawString — draw internationalized multi-byte text. 

SYNOPSIS

void XmbDrawString(display, drawable, font_set, gc, x, y, string, num_bytes)
   Display ∗display;
   Drawable drawable;
   XFontSet font_set;
   GC gc;
   int x, y;
   char ∗string;
   int num_bytes;

ARGUMENTS

displaySpecifies the connection to the X server. 

drawableSpecifies the drawable. 

font_setSpecifies the font set. 

gcSpecifies the graphics context. 

x, ySpecifies the starting position and baseline of the text, relative to the origin of the specified drawable. 

stringSpecifies the character string. 

num_bytesSpecifies the number of bytes in the string argument. 

AVAILABILITY

Release 5 and later. 

DESCRIPTION

XmbDrawString() draws the specified multi-byte text with the foreground pixel.  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. 

XmbDrawString() draws with fonts from the font set rather than the font of the GC.  For this reason, it may modify the font value of the GC.  Except for the font, it uses the same GC components as its pre-X11R5 analog XDrawString().
