NAME
       XDrawString, XDrawString16 - draw text characters

SYNTAX
       XDrawString(display, d, gc, x, y, string, length)
	     Display *display;
	     Drawable d;
	     GC gc;
	     int x, y;
	     char *string;
	     int length;

       XDrawString16(display, d, gc, x, y, string, length)
	     Display *display;
	     Drawable d;
	     GC gc;
	     int x, y;
	     XChar2b *string;
	     int length;

ARGUMENTS
       d	 Specifies the drawable.

       display	 Specifies the connection to the X server.

       gc	 Specifies the GC.

       length	 Specifies the number of characters in the string argument.

       string	 Specifies the character string.

       x
       y	 Specify the x and y coordinates, which are relative to the
		 origin of the specified drawable and define the origin of the
		 first character.

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.
