  18. How difficult would it be to make a 'reversed geometry' version of
  19. the Xaw text widget? This would be necessary to input Hebrew.
  20. The only diffence I want to have in this widget is a resource called
  21. reverse, which when set 'true' will make the widget place the 
  22. characters in the widget with offset from the right margin instead
  23. of the left.
  24.  
  25. Here's an example:
  26.  
  27.    reverse=false                       reverse=true
  28.    +-----------------+                 +----------------+
  29.    | abcde           | <- text      -> |          edcba | 
  30.    |                 |    widgets      |                |
  31.    +-----------------+                 +----------------+
  32.    
  33. Any takers? Or can anyone describe to me what I would have to do
  34. to create this new resource?
