xcb_image_text_16

@brief Draws text

@param c The connection @param string_len The length of the \a string in characters. Note that this parameter limited by 255 due to using 8 bits! @param drawable The drawable (Window or Pixmap) to draw text on. @param gc The graphics context to use. \n The following graphics context components are used: plane-mask, foreground, background, font, subwindow-mode, clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clip-mask. @param x The x coordinate of the first character, relative to the origin of \a drawable. @param y The y coordinate of the first character, relative to the origin of \a drawable. @param string The string to draw. Only the first 255 characters are relevant due to the data type of \a string_len. Every character uses 2 bytes (hence the 16 in this request's name). @return A cookie

Fills the destination rectangle with the background pixel from \a gc, then paints the text with the foreground pixel from \a gc. The upper-left corner of the filled rectangle is at [x, y - font-ascent]. The width is overall-width, the height is font-ascent + font-descent. The overall-width, font-ascent and font-descent are as returned by xcb_query_text_extents (TODO).

Note that using X core fonts is deprecated (but still supported) in favor of client-side rendering using Xft.
