XmStringDraw(3)

NAME

   XmStringDraw  --- A compound string function that draws a compound string
   in   an   X   window   "XmStringDraw"   "compound   string   functions"
   "XmStringDraw"

SYNOPSIS

   #include <Xm/Xm.h>
   void XmStringDraw(
   Display * d,
   Window w,
   XmRenderTable rendertable,
   XmString string,
   GC gc,
   Position x,
   Position y,
   Dimension width,
   unsigned char alignment,
   unsigned char layout_direction,
   XRectangle * clip);

DESCRIPTION

   XmStringDraw  draws  a  compound  string in an X Window.  If a compound
   string segment uses a rendition that contains a font set,  the  graphic
   context  passed to this routine will have the GC font member left in an
   undefined state. The underlying XmbStringDraw function called  by  this
   routine  modifies  the  font ID field of the GC passed into it and does
   not attempt to restore the font  ID  to  the  incoming  value.  If  the
   compound  string  segment  is  not  drawn using a font set, the graphic
   context must contain a valid font member. Graphic contexts  created  by
   XtGetGC  are  not  valid for this routine; instead, use XtAllocateGC to
   create a graphic context.

   d         Specifies the display.

   w         Specifies the window.

   rendertable
             Specifies the render table.

   string    Specifies the string.

   gc        Specifies the graphics context to use.

   x         Specifies a coordinate of the rectangle that will contain the
             displayed compound string.

   y         Specifies a coordinate of the rectangle that will contain the
             displayed compound string.

   width     Specifies the width of the rectangle that  will  contain  the
             displayed compound string.

   alignment Specifies how the string will be aligned within the specified
             rectangle.     It    is     either     XmALIGNMENT_BEGINNING,
             XmALIGNMENT_CENTER, or XmALIGNMENT_END.

   layout_direction
             Controls  the direction in which the segments of the compound
             string will be laid out. It also determines  the  meaning  of
             the alignment parameter.

   clip      Allows  the  application  to restrict the area into which the
             compound string  will  be  drawn.   If  the  value  is  NULL,
             clipping will be determined by the GC.
