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

SYNOPSIS
  #include <Xm/Xm.h>

  void XmStringDraw (d, w, fontlist, string, gc, x, y, width, alignment,
  layout_direction, clip)
	  Display * d;
	  Window w;
	  XmFontList fontlist;
	  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 font list entry that defines 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.

  fontlist
      Specifies the font list.

  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, no clipping will be done.
