Xrm Options Dialog

The Xrm Options dialog allows you to specify command line flags to manipulate the X database for your application. The information is packaged up in an XrmOptionDescRec array in your generated code, and is passed to the XtOpenDisplay() in any generated main module.

At the top of the dialog is a list of the command line flags currently configured.

Underneath is a text field for specifying the current flag. Selecting from the list above will change the current command line flag.

The Resource Specifier field should contain a string in the X database which the flag, if passed to the program, will configure.

The Argument Type option menu is for specifying the kind of flag you are configuring: whether it takes arguments, etc.

The default value field is only generated to code if the Argument Type is NoArg. This is consistent with the definition of XrmOptionDescRec structures.

You are referred to your X documentation for XtOpenDisplay() and XrmOptionDescRec structures for further information. See also:
