# mdraw\_image\_text(3m17n)

## NAME

mdraw\_image\_text -

## SYNOPSIS

int **mdraw\_image\_text** (**MFrame** \* *frame*, **MDrawWindow** *win*, int *x*, int *y*, **MText** \* *mt*, int *from*, int *to*)

## DESCRIPTION

Draw an M-text on a window as an image. The **mdraw\_image\_text()** function draws the text between **from** and **to** of M-text **mt** as image on window **win** of frame **frame** at coordinate (**x**, **y**).

The way to draw a text is the same as in **mdraw\_text()** except that this function also draws the background with the color specified by faces.

This function is the counterpart of `XDrawImageString()`, `XmbDrawImageString()`, and `XwcDrawImageString()` functions in the X Window System.

## RETURN VALUE

If the operation was successful, **mdraw\_image\_text()** returns 0. If an error is detected, it returns -1 and assigns an error code to the external variable **merror\_code**. \

## ERRORS

`MERROR_RANGE`
