NAME

XtSetArg, XtMergeArgLists − set and merge ArgLists

SYNTAX

	int XtSetArg(Arg arg, String name, XtArgVal value);
	ArgList XtMergeArgLists(ArgList args1, Cardinal num_args1, ArgList args2, Cardinal num_args2);

ARGUMENTS


	arg		Specifies the name-value pair to set.
	args1		Specifies the first ArgList.
	args2		Specifies the second ArgList.
	num_args1		Specifies the number of arguments in the first argument list.
	num_args2		Specifies the number of arguments in the second argument list.
	name		Specifies the name of the resource.
	value		Specifies the value of the resource if it will fit in an XtArgVal or the address.

DESCRIPTION

The XtSetArg function is usually used in a highly stylized manner to minimize the probability of making a mistake; for example:

Arg args[20];
int n;

n = 0;
XtSetArg(args[n], XtNheight, 100);n++;
XtSetArg(args[n], XtNwidth, 200);n++;
XtSetValues(widget, args, n);

Alternatively, an application can statically declare the argument list and use XtNumber:

static Args args[] = {

	{XtNheight, (XtArgVal) 100},
	{XtNwidth, (XtArgVal) 200},

};
XtSetValues(Widget, args, XtNumber(args));

Note that you should not use auto-increment or auto-decrement within the first argument to XtSetArg. XtSetArg can be implemented as a macro that dereferences the first argument twice.

The XtMergeArgLists function allocates enough storage to hold the combined ArgList structures and copies them into it. Note that it does not check for duplicate entries. When it is no longer needed, free the returned storage by using XtFree.

Opportunity

Personal Opportunity - Free software gives you access to billions of dollars of software at no cost. Use this software for your business, personal use or to develop a profitable skill. Access to source code provides access to a level of capabilities/information that companies protect though copyrights. Open source is a core component of the Internet and it is available to you. Leverage the billions of dollars in resources and capabilities to build a career, establish a business or change the world. The potential is endless for those who understand the opportunity.

Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.

Free Software

Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.

Free Office Software - The Libre Office suite provides top desktop productivity tools for free. This includes, a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation engine, drawing and flowcharting, database and math applications. Libre Office is available for Linux or Windows.

Free Books

The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.

Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.
