XmStringDrawImage(3)

NAME

   XmStringDrawImage  ---  A  compound string function that draws a compound
   string  in  an  X  Window  and  creates  an  image  "XmStringDrawImage"
   "compound string functions" "XmStringDrawImage"

SYNOPSIS

   #include <Xm/Xm.h>
   void XmStringDrawImage(
   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

   XmStringDrawImage  draws  a  compound  string in an X Window and paints
   both the foreground and  background  bits  of  each  character.   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  accepted  by  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 NULL, clipping will be
             determined by the GC.
