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.
