XmDirectionToStringDirection — A function that converts an XmDirection value to an XmStringDirection value
#include
<Xm/Xm.h>
XmStringDirection XmDirectionToStringDirection (dir)
XmDirection dir;
(void)
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. |
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.
