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.
