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
consist of a sequence of components, including, but not limited to,
the following:
+o
XmSTRING_COMPONENT_SEPARATOR +o
XmSTRING_COMPONENT_TAB +o
XmSTRING_COMPONENT_LAYOUT_POP +o
XmSTRING_COMPONENT_DIRECTION +o
XmSTRING_COMPONENT_LAYOUT_PUSH +o
XmSTRING_COMPONENT_CHARSET +o
XmSTRING_COMPONENT_FONTLIST_ELEMENT_TAG +o
XmSTRING_COMPONENT_LOCALE +o
XmSTRING_COMPONENT_LOCALE_TEXT +o
XmSTRING_COMPONENT_TAG +o
XmSTRING_COMPONENT_TEXT +o
XmSTRING_COMPONENT_END +o
XmSTRING_COMPONENT_RENDITION_BEGIN +o
XmSTRING_COMPONENT_RENDITION_END +o
XmSTRING_COMPONENT_UNKNOWN +o
XmSTRING_COMPONENT_WIDECHAR_TEXT and also a rendition tags table, text, and text component. When a
compound string is displayed, the rendition tags and the direction
are used to determine how to display the text.
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.
Please see the
XmStringComponentType reference page for more detail
about compound string components, and for a description of the order
in which the components should appear in a compound string. Refer to
the
XmRenderTable reference page for a description of the algorithm
that associates the rendition tags used for displaying a compound
string text component with a rendition in a render table.
