XLIB FUNCTIONS                            XmbTextEscapement(3x11)



NAME
     XmbTextEscapement, XwcTextEscapement, Xutf8TextEscapement -
     obtain the escapement of text

SYNTAX
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lX11 [ library... ]

     int XmbTextEscapement(XFontSet font_set, char *string, int
          num_bytes);

     int XwcTextEscapement(XFontSet font_set, wchar_t *string,
          int num_wchars);

     int Xutf8TextEscapement(XFontSet font_set, char *string, int
          num_bytes);

ARGUMENTS
     font_set  Specifies the font set.

     num_bytes Specifies the number of bytes in the string argu-
               ment.

     num_wchars
               Specifies the number of characters in the string
               argument.

     string    Specifies the character string.

DESCRIPTION
     The XmbTextEscapement, XwcTextEscapement and
     Xutf8TextEscapement functions return the escapement in pix-
     els of the specified string as a value, using the fonts
     loaded for the specified font set.  The escapement is the
     distance in pixels in the primary draw direction from the
     drawing origin to the origin of the next character to be
     drawn, assuming that the rendering of the next character is
     not dependent on the supplied string.

     Regardless of the character rendering order, the escapement
     is always positive.

     The function Xutf8TextEscapement is an extension introduced
     by The XFree86 Project, Inc. in their 4.0.2 release. Its
     presence is indicated by the macro X_HAVE_UTF8_STRING.
