void XmbDrawImageString(Display *display, Drawable d, XFontSet font_set, GC gc, int x, int y, char *string, int num_bytes); void XwcDrawImageString(Display *display, Drawable d, XFontSet font_set, GC gc, int x, int y, wchar_t *string, int num_wchars); void Xutf8DrawImageString(Display *display, Drawable d, XFontSet font_set, GC gc, int x, int y, char *string, int num_bytes);

d 1i Specifies the drawable.

display 1i Specifies the connection to the X server.

font_set 1i Specifies the font set.

The .ZN XmbDrawImageString , .ZN XwcDrawImageString and .ZN Xutf8DrawImageString functions fill a destination rectangle with the background pixel defined in the GC and then paint the text with the foreground pixel. The filled rectangle is the rectangle returned to overall_logical_return by .ZN XmbTextExtents , .ZN XwcTextExtents or .ZN Xutf8TextExtents for the same text and .ZN XFontSet .

When the .ZN XFontSet has missing charsets, each unavailable character is drawn with the default string returned by .ZN XCreateFontSet . The behavior for an invalid codepoint is undefined.

The function .ZN Xutf8TextExtents is an extension introduced by The XFree86 Project, Inc. in their 4.0.2 release. Its presence is indicated by the macro .ZN X_HAVE_UTF8_STRING .
