💖 XmRenditionCreate 💖

okay bestie, welcome to XmRenditionCreate — she's a library call, she lives in the Xm family, and she's literally the convenience function that creates a rendition. one job. does it gorgeously. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

XmRenditionCreate — a convenience function that creates a rendition 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Xm/Xm.h>
XmRendition XmRenditionCreate(
Widget widget,
XmStringTag tag,
ArgList arglist,
Cardinal argcount);

like. four args. so chill of her. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea 🫖 — XmRenditionCreate creates a rendition whose resources get set to whatever values you dropped in arglist. anything you didn't specify? she's not gonna leave it blank, bestie — default values are assigned to resources that are not specified. she's got you. no cap.

now let's go through the parameters one by one, because every single one matters and i will not be skipping any 👑

  • widget — specifies the widget used for deriving any necessary information for creating the rendition. and in particular, the X display of widget is what gets used for loading fonts. so like, that widget is the whole vibe-source for your fonts, iykyk. 🔥
  • tag — specifies the tag for the rendition. and bestie, heads up: this will become the XmNtag resource for the rendition. main character resource energy fr fr. 👑
  • arglist — specifies the argument list. that's it, that's the whole job. 🍓
  • argcount — specifies the number of attribute/value pairs in the argument list (arglist). yes, you have to count them yourself. the audacity. 😭

💜 RETURN 💜

she returns the created rendition. ✨

but listen — the function allocates space to hold the returned rendition, and the application is responsible for managing this allocated space. so like, that memory is YOURS now. you adopted it. congrats?? 🫶

the good news: the application can recover this allocated space by calling XmRenditionFree. so you're not stuck with it forever, you can give it back. iconic of you honestly. 💅

quick reminder bestie: that allocated space from the RETURN section is not gonna free itself. XmRenditionFree is right there. use her. 💖

and that's the whole page!! 💖 this was XmRenditionCreate(library call) from the Xm library, love u, go free your renditions, mwah 🎀✨
