#include <X11/Intrinsic.h> void XtAppAddConverter(XtAppContext app_context, const char *from_type, const char *to_type, XtConverter converter, XtConvertArgList convert_args, Cardinal num_args); void XtAddConverter(const char *from_type, const char *to_type, XtCon- verter converter, XtConvertArgList convert_args, Cardinal num_args);
app_context Specifies the application context. converter Specifies the type converter procedure. convert_args Specifies how to compute the additional arguments to the con- verter 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.
XtAppAddConverter is equivalent in function to XtAppSetTypeConverter with cache_type equal to XtCacheAll for old-format type converters. It has been superseded by XtAppSetTypeConverter.
