NAME
XDrawString, XDrawString16 - draw text characters
SYNTAX
int XDrawString(Display *display, Drawable d, GC gc, int x, int y, char *string, int length);
int XDrawString16(Display *display, Drawable d, GC gc, int x, int y, XChar2b *string, int length);
ARGUMENTS
d

display

DESCRIPTION
Each character image, as defined by the font in the GC, is treated as an additional mask for a fill operation on the drawable. The drawable is modified only where the font character has a bit set to 1. For fonts defined with 2-byte matrix indexing and used with each byte is used as a byte2 with a byte1 of zero.
Both functions use these GC components: function, plane-mask, fill-style, font, subwindow-mode, clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clip-mask. They also use these GC mode-dependent components: foreground, background, tile, stipple, tile-stipple-x-origin, and tile-stipple-y-origin.
and can generate and errors.
DIAGNOSTICS
A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Window or Pixmap.
A value for a GContext argument does not name a defined GContext.
An
window is used as a Drawable.
Some argument or pair of arguments has the correct type and range but fails
to match in some other way required by the request.
