NAME

6       XmTabList — Data type for a tab list
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <Xm/Xm.h>
10       XmTabList
11

DESCRIPTION

13       XmTabList  is  the data type for a tab list. A tab list consists of tab
14       stop list entries (XmTabs). Whenever a  tab  component  is  encountered
15       while  an  XmString  is  being  rendered, the origin of the next X draw
16       depends on the next XmTab. If a tab stop would cause text  to  overlap,
17       the x position for the segment is reset to follow immediately after the
18       end of the previous segment.
19
20       Tab lists are specified in resource files with the following syntax:
21
22       resource_spec: tab WHITESPACE [, WHITESPACE tab ]*
23
24       The resource value string consists of one or  more  tabs  separated  by
25       commas.  Each  tab  identifies the value of the tab, the unit type, and
26       whether the offset is relative or absolute. For example:
27
28       tab := float [ WHITESPACE units ]
29       float := [ sign ] [[ DIGIT]*. ]DIGIT+
30       sign := +
31
32       where the presence or absence of sign indicates, respectively, a  rela‐
33       tive  offset  or  an absolute offset. Note that negative tab values are
34       not allowed. units indicates the unitType to use as  described  in  the
35       XmConvertUnits reference page.
36
37       For  example,  the  following  specifies a tab list consisting of a one
38       inch absolute tab followed by a one inch relative tab:
39
40       *tabList: 1in, +1in
41
42       For resources of type, dimension, or position, you can specify units as
43       described  in  the  XmNunitType resource of the XmGadget, XmManager, or
44       XmPrimitive reference page.
