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

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #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    [Toc]    [Back]

       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.   Specifies  the  display.
       Specifies the window.  Specifies the font list.  Specifies
       the string.  Specifies the graphics context to use.  Specifies
  a coordinate of the rectangle that will contain the
       displayed compound string.  Specifies a coordinate of  the
       rectangle that will contain the displayed compound string.
       Specifies the width of the rectangle that will contain the
       displayed  compound string.  Specifies how the string will
       be aligned within the specified rectangle.  It  is  either
       XmALIGNMENT_BEGINNING,   XmALIGNMENT_CENTER,  or  XmALIGNMENT_END.
  Controls the direction in which the segments of
       the  compound string will be laid out.  It also determines
       the meaning of the alignment parameter.  Allows the application
 to restrict the area into which the compound string
       will be drawn.  If NULL, no clipping will be done.
