XmStringDraw(library call)

NAME
XmStringDraw — A compound string function that draws a compound string in an X window

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.
