XtInitialize()							XtInitialize()

Name
  XtInitialize - initialize toolkit and display.

Synopsis
  Widget     XtInitialize(shell_name,	  application_class,	 options,
  num_options, argc, argv)
	 String shell_name;    /* unused */
	 String application_class;
	 XrmOptionDescRec options[];
	 Cardinal num_options;
	 Cardinal *argc;
	 char *argv[];

Inputs
  shell_name
	    This parameter is ignored; you can specify NULL.

  application_class
	    Specifies the class name of this application.

  options   Specifies how to parse the command line for any  application-
	    specific  resources.   The	options	 argument  is passed as a
	    parameter to XtDisplayInitialize().

  num_options
	    Specifies the number of entries in options list.

  argc	    Specifies a pointer to the number of command line parameters.

  argv	    Specifies the command line parameters.

Outputs
  argc	    Returns the number of command line arguments remaining  after
	    the command line is parsed with XtDisplayInitialize()

  argv	    Returns  the  command  line	 as modified by XtDisplayInitial‐
	    ize().

Returns
  A toplevel applicationShell widget.

Availability
  XtInitialize() has been superseded by XtAppInitialize().

Description
  XtInitialize() is a convenience function for initializing an Xt  appli‐
  cation.   It	calls  XtToolkitInitialize()  to  initialize  the toolkit
  internals, creates a default	application  context  for  use	by  other
  superseded  functions,  calls	 XtOpenDisplay() with display_string NULL
  and application_name NULL, and finally  calls	 XtAppCreateShell()  with
  application_name  NULL and returns the created shell.	 The semantics of
  calling XtInitialize() more than once are undefined.

Usage
  XtInitialize() has been superseded in Release 4  by  XtAppInitialize(),
  which is a more general initialization function which supports multiple
  application contexts and fallback resources, among other things.  There
  are  a number of Xt functions that have been superseded by "XtApp" ver‐
  sions that take an application context as an argument.  If you want  to
  use  these  superseded  functions, you must initialize your application
  with XtInitialize() which creates the default application context  that
  these functions all use.

  If  you do not want to use multiple application contexts, multiple dis‐
  plays, or fallback resources, you can continue to  use  XtInitialize().
  We  recommend,  however,  that  you use XtAppInitialize() and the other
  XtApp*() application context specific functions.

  See XtAppInitialize() for more information.
