[Description]
Draws a string.

[Explanation]
DrawStr draws a string <I>str</I> at a
specific (<I>x</I>,&nbsp;<I>y</I>) location. See <A HREF="$$LINK(DrawChar)">DrawChar</A> for a
description of attribute <I>Attr</I>.

<B>Note:</B> Too many people ask me how to draw a content of an integer variable (for example) instead
of a string. Although this question is answered in the <A HREF="$$INFOLINK(faq)">Frequently Asked
Question</A> list, I received a suggestion that it would be better if explained here.
Well. You need to use <A HREF="$$LINK(stdio.h/sprintf)">sprintf</A> to convert a non-string
variable to a string. For example:
<PRE>int x, y;
char buffer[50];
...
sprintf (buffer, "%d + %d = %d", x, y, x + y);
DrawStr (0, 0, buffer, A_NORMAL);
</PRE>
