# NAME

XtAppSetTypeConverter, XtSetTypeConverter - register resource converter

# SYNTAX

#include <X11/Intrinsic.h>

void XtAppSetTypeConverter(XtAppContext app_context, const char *from_type, const char * to_type, XtTypeConverter converter, XtConvertArgList convert_args, Cardinal num_args, XtCacheType cache_type, XtDestructor destructor);

void XtSetTypeConverter(const char *from_type, const char *to_type, XtTypeConverter converter, XtConvertArgList convert_args, Cardinal num_args, XtCacheType cache_type, XtDestructor destructor);

# ARGUMENTS

app_context
  Specifies the application context.
converter
  Specifies the type converter procedure.
convert_args
  Specifies how to compute the additional arguments to the converter or NULL.
from_type
  Specifies the source type.
num_args
  Specifies the number of additional arguments to the converter or zero.
to_type
  Specifies the destination type.
cache_type
  Specifies whether or not resources produced by this converter are shareable or display-specific and when they should be freed.
destructor
  Specifies a destroy procedure for resources produced by this conversion, or NULL if no additional action is required to deallocate resources produced by the converter.

# DESCRIPTION

XtSetTypeConverter registers the specified type converter and destructor in all application contexts created by the calling process, including any future application contexts that may be created. XtAppSetTypeConverter registers the specified type converter in the single application context specified. If the same from_type and to_type are specified in multiple calls to either function, the most recent overrides the previous ones.
