NAME
XRotDrawString, XRotDrawImageString - draw simple strings in a
rotated font
SYNOPSIS
void XRotDrawString(dpy, rotfont, drawable, gc, x,
y, str, len)
Display *dpy;
XRotFontStruct *rotfont;
Drawable drawable;
GC gc;
int x, y;
char *str;
int len;
void XRotDrawImageString(dpy, rotfont, drawable, gc, x,
y, str, len)
Display *dpy;
XRotFontStruct *rotfont;
Drawable drawable;
GC gc;
int x, y
char *str;
int len;
ARGUMENTS
- display
-
Specifies the connection to the X server.
- rotfont
-
An XRotFontStruct structure, returned by XRotLoadFont,
describing a rotated font.
- drawable
-
The window or pixmap in which to paint the text.
- gc
-
The graphics context to use when painting text.
- x, y
-
The coordinates of the lower left hand corner of the leftmost character in
str.
- str
-
A character string.
- len
-
The number of characters in str.
DESCRIPTION
The
XRotDrawString
and
XRotDrawImageString
functions are both used to paint the simple string
str
in the rotated font described
by
rotfont.
Simple in this case means containing no newline characters. No alignment
is performed - the string is always painted with the lower left
hand corner of the leftmost character at the position
(x, y).
The two functions differ in that
XRotDrawString
leaves the background pixels untouched, drawing the text in the foreground
colour of
gc.
XRotDrawImageString
fills the background in with the background colour of
gc,
before painting the text in the foreground
colour of
gc.
Note that only the foreground and background attributes of
gc
are used by these functions.
