XmString(3X) SDK X11 R4.11MU05 XmString(3X)
NAME
XmString--Data type for a compound string
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h>
DESCRIPTION
XmString is the data type for a compound string. Compound strings
include one or more segments, each of which may contain a font list
element tag, string direction, and text component. When a compound
string is displayed, the font list element tag and the direction are
used to determine how to display the text. Whenever a font list
element tag is set to XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG the text is handled as a
locale text segment.
Calling XtGetValues for a resource whose type is XmString yields a
copy of the compound string resource value. The application is
responsible for using XmStringFree to free the memory allocated for
the copy.
Refer to the XmFontList man page for a description of the algorithm
that associates the font list element tag of a compound string
segment with a font list entry in a font list.
The compound string interface consists of the routines listed under
"Related Information."
