NAME

       XmCvtStringToUnitType - A function that converts a string to a unit-type value

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Xm.h>

       void XmCvtStringToUnitType (args, num_args, from_val, to_val)
	       XrmValuePtr args;
	       Cardinal * num_args;
	       XrmValue * from_val;
	       XrmValue * to_val;

DESCRIPTION

       XmCvtStringToUnitType  converts	a string to a unit type.  Refer to the man pages for XmGadget(3X), XmManager(3X), or XmPrimitive(3X) for a
       description of the valid unit types. Use of this function as a resource converter is obsolete.  It has been replaced by a new resource con-
       verter  that uses the RepType facility.	Specifies a list of additional XrmValue arguments to the converter if additional context is needed
       to perform the conversion.  For example, the string-to-font converter needs the widget's screen and the string-to-pixel converter needs the
       widget's  screen  and  color  map.   This argument is often NULL.  Specifies the number of additional XrmValue arguments.  This argument is
       often zero.  Specifies the value to convert Specifies the descriptor to use to return the converted value

NAME

       XtConvert, XtDirectConvert - invoke resource converters

SYNTAX

       void XtConvert(w, from_type, from, to_type, to_return)
	   Widget w;
	   String from_type;
	   XrmValuePtr from;
	   String to_type;
	   XrmValuePtr to_return;

       void XtDirectConvert(converter, args, num_args, from, to_return)
	   XtConverter converter;
	   XrmValuePtr args;
	   Cardinal num_args;
	   XrmValuePtr from;
	   XrmValuePtr to_return;

ARGUMENTS

       the conversion (often NULL)

       args	 Specifies the argument list that contains the additional arguments needed to perform.

       converter Specifies the conversion procedure that is to be called.

       from	 Specifies the value to be converted.

       from_type Specifies the source type.

       num_args  Specifies the number of additional arguments (often zero).

       to_type	 Specifies the destination type.

       to_return Returns the converted value.

       w	 Specifies the widget to use for additional arguments (if any are needed).

DESCRIPTION

       The XtConvert function looks up the type converter registered to convert from_type to to_type, computes any additional arguments needed,
       and then calls XtDirectConvert.	XtConvert has been replaced by XtConvertAndStore.

       The XtDirectConvert function looks in the converter cache to see if this conversion procedure has been called with the specified arguments.
       If so, it returns a descriptor for information stored in the cache; otherwise, it calls the converter and enters the result in the cache.

       Before calling the specified converter, XtDirectConvert sets the return value size to zero and the return value address to NULL.  To deter-
       mine if the conversion was successful, the client should check to_return.address for non-NULL.  XtDirectConvert has been replaced by
       XtCallConverter.
