       XmString - Data type for a compound string

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <Xm/Xm.h>

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       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(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.
