- How difficult would it be to make a 'reversed geometry' version of
- the Xaw text widget? This would be necessary to input Hebrew.
- The only diffence I want to have in this widget is a resource called
- reverse, which when set 'true' will make the widget place the
- characters in the widget with offset from the right margin instead
- of the left.
-
- Here's an example:
-
- reverse=false reverse=true
- +-----------------+ +----------------+
- | abcde | <- text -> | edcba |
- | | widgets | |
- +-----------------+ +----------------+
-
- Any takers? Or can anyone describe to me what I would have to do
- to create this new resource?
