XLIB FUNCTIONS                              XFontSetExtents(3x11)



NAME
     XFontSetExtents - XFontSetExtents structure

STRUCTURES
     The XFontSetExtents structure contains:

     typedef struct {
          XRectangle max_ink_extent;/* over all drawable characters */
          XRectangle max_logical_extent;/* over all drawable characters */
     } XFontSetExtents;

     The XRectangle structures used to return font set metrics
     are the usual Xlib screen-oriented rectangles with x, y giv-
     ing the upper left corner, and width and height always posi-
     tive.

     The max_ink_extent member gives the maximum extent, over all
     drawable characters, of the rectangles that bound the char-
     acter glyph image drawn in the foreground color, relative to
     a constant origin.  See XmbTextExtents and XwcTextExtents
     for detailed semantics.

     The max_logical_extent member gives the maximum extent, over
     all drawable characters, of the rectangles that specify
     minimum spacing to other graphical features, relative to a
     constant origin.  Other graphical features drawn by the
     client, for example, a border surrounding the text, should
     not intersect this rectangle.  The max_logical_extent member
     should be used to compute minimum interline spacing and the
     minimum area that must be allowed in a text field to draw a
     given number of arbitrary characters.

     Due to context-dependent rendering, appending a given char-
     acter to a string may change the string's extent by an
     amount other than that character's individual extent.
