XmString(3X) 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 in- clude one or more segments, each of which may contain a font list ele- ment 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 seg- ment. 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(3X) 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 SEE ALSO.
