.SH ARGUMENTS
.IP \fIdirection_return\fP 1i
Returns the value of the direction hint
.Pn ( FontLeftToRight
or
.ZN FontRightToLeft ).
.\" $Header: display.a,v 1.1 88/02/26 10:26:29 mento Exp $
.IP \fIdisplay\fP 1i
Specifies the connection to the X server.
.IP \fIfont_ID\fP 1i
Specifies either the font ID or the
.ZN GContext
ID that contains the font.
.IP \fIfont_ascent_return\fP 1i
Returns the font ascent.
.IP \fIfont_descent_return\fP 1i
Returns the font descent.
.IP \fIfont_struct\fP 1i
Specifies the
.ZN XFontStruct
structure.
.IP \fInchars\fP 1i
Specifies the number of characters in the character string.
.\" $Header: string.a,v 1.1 88/02/26 10:31:32 mento Exp $
.IP \fIstring\fP 1i
Specifies the character string.
.IP \fIoverall_return\fP 1i
Returns the overall size in the specified
.ZN XCharStruct
structure.
.SH DESCRIPTION
.\" $Header: XTextExt.d,v 1.2 88/06/11 07:54:02 mento Exp $
The
.ZN XTextExtents
and
.ZN XTextExtents16
functions
perform the size computation locally and, thereby,
avoid the round-trip overhead of
.ZN XQueryTextExtents
and
.ZN XQueryTextExtents16 .
Both functions return an
.ZN XCharStruct
structure, whose members are set to the values as follows.
.LP
The ascent member is set to the maximum of the ascent metrics of all
characters in the string.
The descent member is set to the maximum of the descent metrics.
The width member is set to the sum of the character-width metrics of all
characters in the string.
For each character in the string,
let W be the sum of the character-width metrics of all characters preceding
it in the string.
Let L be the left-side-bearing metric of the character plus W.
Let R be the right-side-bearing metric of the character plus W.
The lbearing member is set to the minimum L of all characters in the string.
The rbearing member is set to the maximum R.
.LP
For fonts defined with linear indexing rather than 2-byte matrix indexing,
each
.ZN XChar2b
structure is interpreted as a 16-bit number with byte1 as the
most-significant byte.
If the font has no defined default character,
undefined characters in the string are taken to have all zero metrics.
.LP
.\" $Header: XQryTExts.d,v 1.2 88/06/11 07:52:33 mento Exp $
The
.ZN XQueryTextExtents
and
.ZN XQueryTextExtents16
functions return the bounding box of the specified 8-bit and 16-bit
character string in the specified font or the font contained in the
specified GC.
These functions query the X server and, therefore, suffer the round-trip
overhead that is avoided by
.ZN XTextExtents
and
.ZN XTextExtents16 .

.ZN XCharStruct

Characters with all zero metrics are ignored.
