  I hope I am writing to the appropriate list for this question. If not,
 please
  tell me.
 
  I'm new to X programming and I want to draw some text in a bounding box.
 I've
  looked in the Xlib manual and saw no function to do what i want.
 
  For example I want to draw some text starting at position 10,40, but I only
 want
  the part in the box (5,50)-(15,70) to be actually drawn.

 I've used XSetClipRectangles in this sort of case (apropos clip should
 show the related functions).

Thank you very much.
This is exactly what i was looking for. I don't know why I didn't find it in the
doc.

Regards,
Fabien
