XmStringGenerate(3X) UNIX System V XmStringGenerate(3X)
NAME
XmStringGenerate - A convenience function that generates a
compound string
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h>
XmString XmStringGenerate(
XtPointer text,
XmStringTag tag,
XmTextType type,
XmStringTag rendition);
VERSION
This page documents Motif 2.1.
DESCRIPTION
XmStringGenerate calls the XmStringParseTextfunction with a
default parse table of entries consisting of '0', which maps
to Separator, and '', which maps to Tab. Matching
RENDITION_BEGIN and RENDITION_END components containing
rendition are placed around the resulting XmString.
text Specifies a NULL-terminated string containing
characters of a type determined by type.
tag Specifies the tag to be used in creating the
result. The type of tag created (charset or
locale) depends on the text type and the value
given. If specified value is NULL, and type
indicates that a charset tag should be created,
then the tag will have the value of
XmFONTLISTDEFAULTTAG. If tag is NULL, and type
indicates a locale tag, then the tag will have the
value of MOTIFDEFAULTLOCALE.
type Specifies the type of text to be passed in, and
the tag type. If a locale tag should be created,
then type has a value of either XmMULTIBYTETEXT
or XmWIDECHARTEXT. If a charset should be
created, type has a value of XmCHARSETTEXT.
rendition Specifies the rendition tag to be used in an
XmSTRINGCOMPONENTRENDITIONBEGIN component which
will begin the returned string and in an
XmSTRINGCOMPONENTRENDITIONENDcomponent which
will end it. If rendition is NULL, no rendition
tag is placed.
RETURN
Returns a new compound string. The function will allocate
space to hold the returned compound string. When the
application no longer needs the returned compound string,

the application should call XmStringFree.
