.SH "NAME"
\fBXmDirectionToStringDirection\fP \(em A function that converts an XmDirection value to an XmStringDirection value
"XmDirectionToStringDirection"
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
.nf
#include <Xm/Xm\&.h>
XmStringDirection XmDirectionToStringDirection (\fIdir\fP)
        XmDirection     \fIdir\fP;
\fB\fR(\fBvoid\fR)
.fi
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBXmDirectionToStringDirection\fP converts the specified
\fBXmDirection\fR
direction value to its equivalent \fBXmStringDirection\fR value\&.
Basically, if the \fBXmDirection\fR value has a horizontal direction
specification,
that horizontal element is used; otherwise, the
\fBXmStringDirection\fR value is interpreted as
\fBXmSTRING_DIRECTION_L_TO_R\fP\&.
This function provides backward compatibility with the
\fBXmStringDirection\fR data type\&.
.PP
Note that the Motif toolkit also contains an
\fBXmStringDirectionToDirection\fP routine to convert an
\fBXmStringDirection\fR value to its \fBXmDirection\fR equivalent\&.
.IP "\fIdir\fP" 10
Specifies the \fBXmDirection\fR value to be converted\&.
.SH "RETURN"
.PP
Returns the following \fBXmStringDirection\fR values:
.IP "\fBXmSTRING_DIRECTION_R_TO_L\fP" 10
If the \fIdir\fP argument has a right to left horizontal direction
value in it, for
example \fBXmRIGHT_TO_LEFT_TOP_TO_BOTTOM\fP\&.
.IP "\fBXmSTRING_DIRECTION_L_TO_R\fP" 10
If the \fIdir\fP argument has a left to right horizontal direction in
it, for example \fBXmLEFT_TO_RIGHT_TOP_TO_BOTTOM\fP, or if the
horizontal direction value in the \fIdir\fP argument is ambiguous,
such as in the \fBXmTOP_TO_BOTTOM\fP value\&.
.IP "\fBXmSTRING_DIRECTION_DEFAULT\fP" 10
If there was no horizontal direction specified\&.
