mdraw_image_text(3m17n)

✨ NAME ✨

mdraw_image_text — bestie, it's the m17n function that draws an M-text onto a window as an image 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int mdraw_image_text (MFrame * frame, MDrawWindow win, int x, int y,
MText * mt, int from, int to)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so picture this: you have an M-text and you want it on a window, but as an image. That's literally what mdraw_image_text() does. It draws the text between from and to of the M-text mt as an image on the window win belonging to the frame frame, at coordinate (x, y). Slay. ✨

The way it draws the text is exactly the same as in mdraw_text() — same energy, same rules — except that this one also draws the background, using the color specified by faces. So it's mdraw_text() but with the background fully committed. 💅

Think of it as the m17n counterpart of the X Window System's XDrawImageString(), XmbDrawImageString(), and XwcDrawImageString() functions. It's giving very much "same vibes, different library." 👑

💖 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 — yeah, that range was not it.

🌸 SEE ALSO 🌸

• mdraw_text()
