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.
