## Name

XmCvtStringToUnitType(3X) — XmCvtStringToUnitType--A function that converts a string to a unit-type value XmCvtStringToUnitType

## Synopsis

#include <Xm/Xm.h>
void XmCvtStringToUnitType (`args, num_args, from_val, to_val`)
XrmValuePtr `args`;
Cardinal `* num_args`;
XrmValue `* from_val`;
XrmValue `* to_val`;

## DESCRIPTION

XmCvtStringToUnitType converts a string to a unit type. Refer to the man pages for XmGadget, XmManager, or XmPrimitive for a description of the valid unit types. Use of this function as a resource converter is obsolete. It has been replaced by a new resource converter that uses the RepType facility.

`args` |  | Specifies a list of additional XrmValue arguments to the converter if additional context is needed to perform the conversion. For example, the string-to-font converter needs the widget's screen and the string-to-pixel converter needs the widget's screen and color map. This argument is often NULL.
`num_args` |  | Specifies the number of additional XrmValue arguments. This argument is often zero.
`from_val` |  | Specifies the value to convert
`to_val` |  | Specifies the descriptor to use to return the converted value
