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  mini-
     mize 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	combined
     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.
