NAME

XmSetFontUnit — a function that sets the font unit value for a display.

SYNOPSIS

#include <Xm/Xm.h> void XmSetFontUnit (display, font_unit_value)
Display∗ display;
intfont_unit_value;

DESCRIPTION

XmSetFontUnit provides an external function to initialize font unit values.  Applications may want to specify resolution-independent data based on a global font size.  This function must be called before any widgets with resolution-independent data are created.  See the XmNunitType resource description in the manual pages for XmGadget, XmManager, and XmPrimitive for more information on resolution independence. 

This function is obsolete and exists for compatibility with previous releases.  XmSetFontUnits is preferable because it allows specification of separate horizontal and vertical font unit values. 

displayDefines the display for which this font unit value is to be applied. 

font_unit_valueSpecifies the value to be used for both horizontal and vertical font units in the conversion calculations.
