 XmString(Xm)                   6 January 1993                   XmString(Xm)


 Name

    XmString - data type for a compound string

 Syntax


    #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 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 deter-
    mine how to display the text.  Whenever a font list element tag is set to
    XmFONTLISTDEFAULTTAG 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 the
    ``See also'' section.
