XmString - Data type for a compound string
#include <Xm/Xm.h>
XmString is the data type for a compound string. Compound strings include one or more segments, each of which may contain a font list element 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 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 "Related Information."
