SYNTAX

int XmbTextEscapement(font_set, string, num_bytes) XFontSet font_set; char *string; int num_bytes; int XwcTextEscapement(font_set, string, num_wchars) XFontSet font_set; wchar_t *string; int num_wchars;

ARGUMENTS

font_set Specifies the font set. num_bytes Specifies the number of bytes in the string argument. num_wchars Specifies the number of characters in the string argument. string Specifies the character string.

DESCRIPTION

The XmbTextEscapement and XwcTextEscapement functions return the escapement in pixels of the specified string as a value, using the fonts loaded for the specified font set. The escapement is the distance in pixels in the pri- mary draw direction from the drawing origin to the origin of the next character to be drawn, assuming that the ren- dering of the next character is not dependent on the sup- plied string. Regardless of the character rendering order, the escape- ment is always positive.
