gdkDrawGlyphs {RGtk2}R Documentation

gdkDrawGlyphs

Description

This is a low-level function; 99% of text rendering should be done using gdkDrawLayout instead.

Usage

gdkDrawGlyphs(object, gc, font, x, y, glyphs)

Arguments

object

a GdkDrawable

gc

a GdkGC

font

font to be used

x

X coordinate of baseline origin

y

Y coordinate of baseline origin

glyphs

the glyph string to draw

Details

A glyph is a single image in a font. This function draws a sequence of glyphs. To obtain a sequence of glyphs you have to understand a lot about internationalized text handling, which you don't want to understand; thus, use gdkDrawLayout instead of this function, gdkDrawLayout handles the details.
