Editing a Rendition

The following code creates a TextField widget and a RenderTable with a single Rendition. Both the XmNlayoutAttrObject and XmNlayoutModifier pseudo resources have been left unspecified and therefore default to NULL. This value means the layout object associated with the Rendition belongs to the default locale, if one exists.

For this example to work properly, the locale must be set to one whose codeset is ISO 8859-6 and whose locale-specific layout module can support the IMPLICIT_BASIC algorithm. The Rendition's LayoutObject's ImplicitAlg value is modified through the Rendition's XmNlayoutModifier pseudo resource.

int n;
Arg args[10];
Widget w;
	XmRendition rendition;
XmStringTag renditionTag;
XmRenderTable renderTable;
w = XmCreateTextField(parent, "text field", args, 0);
n = 0;
	XtSetArg(args[n], XmNfontName, "-*-*-medium-r-normal-*-24-*-*-*-*-*-*-*");
     n++;
	XtSetArg(args[n], XmNfontType, XmFONT_IS_XOC); n++;
renditionTag = (XmStringTag) "ArabicShaped";
rendition = XmRenditionCreate(w, renditionTag, args, n);
renderTable = 
    XmRenderTableAddRenditions(NULL, &rendition, 1, XmREPLACE_MERGE);
XtVaSetValues(w, XmNrenderTable, renderTable, NULL);
	....
n = 0;
XtSetArg(args[n], XmNlayoutModifier, "@ls implicitalg=basic");
     n++;
XmRenditionUpdate(rendition, args, n);
