+Chapter 9 \(em Resource Management
+.XE
+A resource is a field in the widget record with a corresponding
+resource entry in the \fIresources\fP list of the widget or any of its
+superclasses.
+This means that the field is
+settable by
+.PN XtCreateWidget
+(by naming the field in the argument list), by an
+entry in a resource file (by using either the name or class), and by
+.PN XtSetValues .
+In addition, it is readable by
+.PN XtGetValues .
+Not all fields in a widget record are resources.
+Some are for bookkeeping use by the
+generic routines (like \fImanaged\fP and \fIbeing_destroyed\fP).
+Others can be for local bookkeeping,
+and still others are derived from resources
+(many graphics contexts and pixmaps).
+.LP
+Widgets typically need to obtain a large set of resources at widget
+creation time.
+Some of the resources come from the argument list supplied in the call to
+.PN XtCreateWidget ,
+some from the resource database,
+and some from the internal defaults specified by the widget.
+Resources are obtained first from the argument list,
+then from the resource database for all resources not specified
+in the argument list,
+and last, from the internal default, if needed.

+.IN "Resource Management"
+A resource entry specifies a field in the widget,
+the textual name and class of the field that argument lists
+and external resource files use to refer to the field,
+and a default value that the field should get if no value is specified.
+The declaration for the
+.PN XtResource

+.LP
+When the resource list is specified as the
+.PN CoreClassPart ,
+.PN ObjectClassPart ,
+.PN RectObjClassPart ,
+or
+.PN ConstraintClassPart
+\fIresources\fP field, the strings pointed to by \fIresource_name\fP,
+\fIresource_class\fP, \fIresource_type\fP, and \fIdefault_type\fP must
+be permanently allocated prior to or during the execution of the class
+initialization procedure and must not be subsequently deallocated.
+
+.LP
+The \fIresource_name\fP field contains the name used by clients to access the field
+in the widget.
+By convention, it starts with a lowercase letter
+and is spelled exactly like the field name,
+except all underscores (_) are deleted and the next letter is replaced by its
+uppercase counterpart.
+For example, the resource name for background_pixel becomes backgroundPixel.
+Resource names beginning with the two-character
+sequence ``xt'', and resource classes beginning with the two-character
+sequence ``Xt'' are reserved to the \*(xI for future standard and
+implementation-dependent uses.
+Widget header files typically contain a symbolic name for each resource name.
+All resource names, classes, and types used by the \*(xI are named in
+.Pn < X11/StringDefs.h >.
+The \*(xI's symbolic resource names begin with
+``XtN''
+and are followed by the string name (for example, XtNbackgroundPixel
+for backgroundPixel).
+
+.LP
+The \fIresource_class\fP field contains the class string used in resource
+specification files to identify the field.
+A resource class provides two functions:
+.IP \(bu 5
+It isolates an application from different representations that widgets
+can use for a similar resource.
+.IP \(bu 5
+It lets you specify values for several actual resources with a single name.
+A resource class should be chosen to span a group of closely related fields.
+.LP
+For example,
+a widget can have several pixel resources: background, foreground,
+border, block cursor, pointer cursor, and so on.
+Typically, the background defaults to white
+and everything else to black.
+The resource class for each of these resources in the resource list
+should be chosen so that it takes the minimal number of entries
+in the resource database to make the background ivory
+and everything else darkblue.
+.LP
+In this case, the background pixel should have a resource class of
+``Background''
+and all the other pixel entries a resource class of
+``Foreground''.
+Then, the resource file needs only two lines to
+change all pixels to ivory or darkblue:
+.LP
+.Ds 5
+.TA .5i 1.5i
+.ta .5i 1.5i
+*Background: ivory
+*Foreground: darkblue
+.De
+.LP
+Similarly, a widget may have several font resources (such as normal and bold),
+but all fonts should have the class Font.
+Thus, changing all fonts simply requires only a single line in the
+default resource file:
+.LP
+.Ds 5
+.TA .5i 3i
+.ta .5i 3i
+*Font: 6x13
+.De
+.LP
+By convention,
+resource classes are always spelled starting with a capital letter
+to distinguish them from resource names.
+Their symbolic names are preceded with
+``XtC''
+(for example, XtCBackground).
+.LP
+The \fIresource_type\fP field gives the physical representation type of the resource
+and also encodes information about the specific usage of the field.
+By convention, it starts with an uppercase letter and is
+spelled identically to the type name of the field.
+The resource type is used when resources are fetched to
+convert from the resource database format (usually
+.PN String )
+or the format of the resource default value
+(almost anything, but often
+.PN String )
+to the desired
+physical representation (see Section 9.6).

+data type assigned:
+.PN XtREditMode ,
+.PN XtRJustify ,
+and
+.PN XtROrientation .
+.LP
+The \fIresource_size\fP field is the size of the physical representation in bytes;
+you should specify it as
+.PN sizeof (\fItype\fP)
+so that the
+compiler fills in the value.
+The \fIresource_offset\fP field is the offset in bytes of the field
+within the widget.
+You should use the
+.PN XtOffsetOf
+macro to retrieve this value.
+The \fIdefault_type\fP field is the representation type of the default
+resource value.
+If \fIdefault_type\fP is different from \fIresource_type\fP and the default value
+is needed,
+the resource manager invokes a conversion procedure from \fIdefault_type\fP
+to \fIresource_type\fP.
+Whenever possible,
+the default type should be identical to the resource type in order
+to minimize widget creation time.
+However, there are sometimes no values of the type that the program
+can easily specify.
+In this case,
+it should be a value for which the converter is guaranteed to work (for example,
+.PN XtDefaultForeground
+for a pixel resource).
+The \fIdefault_addr\fP field specifies the address of the default resource value.
+As a special case, if \fIdefault_type\fP is
+.PN XtRString ,
+then the value in the \fIdefault_addr\fP field is the pointer to
+the string rather than a pointer to the pointer.
+The default is used if a resource is not specified in the argument list
+or in the resource database or if the conversion from the representation
+type stored in the resource database fails,
+which can happen for various reasons (for example, a misspelled entry in a
+resource file).
+.LP
+Two special representation types
+(XtRImmediate
+and
+XtRCallProc)
+are usable only as default resource types.
+XtRImmediate
+indicates that the value in the \fIdefault_addr\fP field is the actual value of
+the resource rather than the address of the value.
+The value must be in the correct representation type for the resource,
+coerced to an
+.PN XtPointer .
+No conversion is possible, since there is no source representation type.
+XtRCallProc
+indicates that the value in the \fIdefault_addr\fP field is a procedure
+pointer.
+This procedure is automatically invoked with the widget,
+\fIresource_offset\fP, and a pointer to an
+.PN XrmValue
+in which to store the result.
+XtRCallProc

+That is, the resources specified in the

+.LP
+In general, if a widget resource field is declared in a superclass,
+that field is included in the superclass's resource list and need not be
+included in the subclass's resource list.
+For example, the

+class contains a resource entry for \fIbackground_pixel\fP.
+Consequently,
+the implementation of Label need not also have a resource entry
+for \fIbackground_pixel\fP.
+However, a subclass,
+by specifying a resource entry for that field in its own resource list,
+can override the resource entry for any field declared in a superclass.
+This is most often done to override the defaults provided in the
+superclass with new ones.
+At class initialization time,
+resource lists for that class are scanned from the superclass down
+to the class to look for resources with the same offset.

+but it has additionally been updated by all superclass set_values
+procedures called so far.

+The set_values procedure need not refer to the \fIrequest\fP widget
+unless it must resolve conflicts between the \fIcurrent\fP and \fInew\fP widgets.
+Any changes the widget needs to make, including geometry changes,
+should be made in the \fInew\fP widget.

+In the above example,

+if the \fIwidth\fP and \fIheight\fP in the \fIrequest\fP widget are zero.
+If so,
+it adds its surround size to the \fIwidth\fP and
+\fIheight\fP fields in the \fInew\fP widget.
+If not, it must make do with the size originally specified.
+In this case, zero is a special value defined by the class to permit
+the application to invoke this behavior.
+.LP
+The \fInew\fP widget is the actual widget instance record.
+Therefore,
+the set_values procedure should do all its work on the \fInew\fP widget;
+the \fIrequest\fP widget should never be modified.
+If the set_values procedure needs to call any routines that operate on
+a widget, it should specify \fInew\fP as the widget instance.
+.LP
+Before calling the set_values procedures, the \*(xI modify the
+resources of the \fIrequest\fP widget according to the contents of the arglist;
+if the widget names all its resources in the class resource list, it is
+never necessary to examine the contents of \fIargs\fP.
+.LP
+Finally, the set_values procedure must return a Boolean that indicates whether
+the widget needs to be redisplayed.
+Note that a change in the geometry fields alone does not require
+the set_values procedure to return
+.PN True ;
+the X server will eventually generate an
+.PN Expose
+event, if necessary.
+After calling all the set_values procedures,
+.PN XtSetValues
+forces a redisplay by calling
+.PN XClearArea
+if any of the set_values procedures returned
+.PN True .
+Therefore, a set_values procedure should not try to do its own redisplaying.
