draw_string/[4,5]

     draw_string(+Drawable, +X, +Y, +String)
     draw_string(+Drawable, +Gc, +X, +Y, +String)
     

Draw a text string in Drawable. String is drawn with the origin point of the first character at postion X, Y. String may be either a Prolog atom, or a list of character codes.

Note that this operation affects only pixels in Drawable where the characters are; the background part of the characters does not affect Drawable. If you want the entire area of Drawable occupied by string to be effected, use draw_image_string.
