## DESCRIPTION

`XmCvtStringToUnitType` converts a string to a unit type. Refer to the reference pages for `XmGadget`, `XmManager`, or `XmPrimitive` for a description of the valid unit types. Use of this function as a resource converter is obsolete. It has been replaced by a new resource converter that uses the RepType facility.

args

- Specifies a list of additional XrmValue arguments to the converter if additional context is needed to perform the conversion. For example, the string-to-font converter needs the widget's screen and the string-to-pixel converter needs the widget's screen and color map. This argument is often NULL.

num_args

- Specifies the number of additional XrmValue arguments. This argument is often zero.

from_val

- Specifies the value to convert

to_val

- Specifies the descriptor to use to return the converted value
