XmbDrawText(3X11)
X11R6
NAME
  XmbDrawText, XwcDrawText - draw text using multiple font sets

SYNOPSIS
  void XmbDrawText(display, d, gc, x, y, items, nitems)
	  Display *display;
	  Drawable d;
	  GC gc;
	  int x, y;
	  XmbTextItem *items;
	  int nitems;

  void XwcDrawText(display, d, gc, x, y, items, nitems)
	  Display *display;
	  Drawable d;
	  GC gc;
	  int x, y;
	  XwcTextItem *items;
	  int nitems;

ARGUMENTS
  d   Specifies the drawable.

  display
      Specifies the connection to the X server.

  gc  Specifies the GC.

  items
      Specifies an array of text items.

  nitems
      Specifies the number of text items in the array.

  x

  y   Specify the x and y coordinates.

DESCRIPTION
  The XmbDrawText and XwcDrawText functions allow complex spacing and font
  set shifts between text strings.  Each text item is processed in turn, with
  the origin of a text element advanced in the primary draw direction by the
  escapement of the previous text item.	 A text item delta specifies an
  additional escapement of the text item drawing origin in the primary draw
  direction. A font_set member other than None in an item causes the font set
  to be used for this and subsequent text items in the text_items list.
  Leading text items with a font_set member set to None will not be drawn.

  XmbDrawText and XwcDrawText do not perform any context-dependent rendering
  between text segments. Clients may compute the drawing metrics by passing
  each text segment to XmbTextExtents and XwcTextExtents or
  XmbTextPerCharExtents and XwcTextPerCharExtents.  When the XFontSet has
  missing charsets, each unavailable character is drawn with the default
  string returned by XCreateFontSet. The behavior for an invalid codepoint is
  undefined.

STRUCTURES
  The XmbTextItem structure contains:

       typedef struct {
	       char *chars;    /* pointer to string */
	       int nchars;     /* number of bytes */
	       int delta;      /* pixel delta between strings */
	       XFontSet font_set;      /* fonts, None means do not change */
       } XmbTextItem;

  The XwcTextItem structure contains:

       typedef struct {
	       wchar_t *chars; /* pointer to wide char string */
	       int nchars;     /* number of wide characters */
	       int delta;      /* pixel delta between strings */
	       XFontSet font_set;      /* fonts, None means do not change */
       } XwcTextItem;
