XmbTextPerCharExtents(3)	XLIB FUNCTIONS	      XmbTextPerCharExtents(3)

NAME
       XmbTextPerCharExtents, XwcTextPerCharExtents, Xutf8TextPerCharExtents -
       obtain per-character information	for a text string

SYNTAX
       Status XmbTextPerCharExtents(XFontSet font_set, _Xconst	char  *string,
	      int  num_bytes,  XRectangle *ink_array_return, XRectangle	*logi-
	      cal_array_return,	int array_size,	int *num_chars_return,	XRect-
	      angle *overall_ink_return, XRectangle *overall_logical_return);

       Status	XwcTextPerCharExtents(XFontSet	 font_set,   _Xconst   wchar_t
	      *string, int num_wchars, XRectangle *ink_array_return,  XRectan-
	      gle  *logical_array_return,  int	array_size, int	*num_chars_re-
	      turn, XRectangle *overall_ink_return, XRectangle	*overall_logi-
	      cal_return);

       Status Xutf8TextPerCharExtents(XFontSet font_set, _Xconst char *string,
	      int num_bytes, XRectangle	*ink_array_return,  XRectangle	*logi-
	      cal_array_return,	 int array_size, int *num_chars_return,	XRect-
	      angle *overall_ink_return, XRectangle *overall_logical_return);

ARGUMENTS
       array_size
		 Specifies the size of ink_array_return	and  logical_array_re-
		 turn.	The caller must	pass in	arrays of this size.

       font_set	 Specifies the font set.

       ink_array_return
		 Returns the ink dimensions for	each character.

       logical_array_return
		 Returns the logical dimensions	for each character.

       num_bytes Specifies the number of bytes in the string argument.

       num_chars_return
		 Returns the number of characters in the string	argument.

       num_wchars
		 Specifies the number of characters in the string argument.

       overall_ink_return
		 Returns the overall ink extents of the	entire string.

       overall_logical_return
		 Returns the overall logical extents of	the entire string.

       string	 Specifies the character string.

DESCRIPTION
       The   XmbTextPerCharExtents,  XwcTextPerCharExtents  and	 Xutf8TextPer-
       CharExtents functions return the	text dimensions	of each	 character  of
       the  specified text, using the fonts loaded for the specified font set.
       Each successive element of ink_array_return and logical_array_return is
       set  to the successive character's drawn	metrics, relative to the draw-
       ing origin of the string	and one	rectangle for each  character  in  the
       supplied	 text  string.	The number of elements of ink_array_return and
       logical_array_return that have been set is  returned  to	 num_chars_re-
       turn.

       Each element of ink_array_return	is set to the bounding box of the cor-
       responding character's drawn foreground color.  Each element  of	 logi-
       cal_array_return	is set to the bounding box that	provides minimum spac-
       ing to other graphical features for the corresponding character.	 Other
       graphical features should not intersect any of the logical_array_return
       rectangles.

       Note that an XRectangle represents the effective	drawing	dimensions  of
       the character, regardless of the	number of font glyphs that are used to
       draw the	character or the direction in which the	 character  is	drawn.
       If  multiple characters map to a	single character glyph,	the dimensions
       of all the XRectangles of those characters are the same.

       When the	XFontSet has missing charsets, metrics	for  each  unavailable
       character  are taken from the default string returned by	XCreateFontSet
       so that the metrics represent the text as it will  actually  be	drawn.
       The behavior for	an invalid codepoint is	undefined.

       If the array_size is too	small for the number of	characters in the sup-
       plied text, the functions return	zero and num_chars_return  is  set  to
       the  number  of rectangles required.  Otherwise,	the functions return a
       nonzero value.

       If the overall_ink_return or overall_logical_return  argument  is  non-
       NULL,  XmbTextPerCharExtents,  XwcTextPerCharExtents  and Xutf8TextPer-
       CharExtents return the maximum extent of	the string's metrics to	 over-
       all_ink_return  or  overall_logical_return,  as	returned by XmbTextEx-
       tents, XwcTextExtents or	Xutf8TextExtents.

       The function Xutf8TextPerCharExtents is an extension introduced by  The
       XFree86	Project,  Inc.,	in their 4.0.2 release.	 Its presence is indi-
       cated by	the macro X_HAVE_UTF8_STRING.
