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 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  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 responsi-
       ble 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 seg-
       ment with a font list entry in a font list.

       The compound string interface consists of the routines listed under SEE ALSO.
