XtSetArg(3)			 XT FUNCTIONS			   XtSetArg(3)

NAME
       XtSetArg, XtMergeArgLists - set and merge ArgLists

SYNTAX
       #include	<X11/Intrinsic.h>

       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 com-
       bined 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.
