XmDirectionToStringDirection(3)

NAME

   XmDirectionToStringDirection  --- A function that converts an XmDirection
   value to an XmStringDirection value "XmDirectionToStringDirection"

SYNOPSIS

   #include <Xm/Xm.h>
   XmStringDirection XmDirectionToStringDirection (dir)
           XmDirection     dir;
   (void)

DESCRIPTION

   XmDirectionToStringDirection   converts   the   specified   XmDirection
   direction  value to its equivalent XmStringDirection value.  Basically,
   if the XmDirection value has a horizontal direction specification, that
   horizontal  element  is used; otherwise, the XmStringDirection value is
   interpreted  as  XmSTRING_DIRECTION_L_TO_R.   This  function   provides
   backward compatibility with the XmStringDirection data type.

   Note     that     the     Motif     toolkit     also     contains    an
   XmStringDirectionToDirection routine to  convert  an  XmStringDirection
   value to its XmDirection equivalent.

   dir       Specifies the XmDirection value to be converted.

RETURN

   Returns the following XmStringDirection values:

   XmSTRING_DIRECTION_R_TO_L
             If  the dir argument has a right to left horizontal direction
             value in it, for example XmRIGHT_TO_LEFT_TOP_TO_BOTTOM.

   XmSTRING_DIRECTION_L_TO_R
             If the dir argument has a left to right horizontal  direction
             in  it,  for example XmLEFT_TO_RIGHT_TOP_TO_BOTTOM, or if the
             horizontal direction value in the dir argument is  ambiguous,
             such as in the XmTOP_TO_BOTTOM value.

   XmSTRING_DIRECTION_DEFAULT
             If there was no horizontal direction specified.
