XmStringTableProposeTablist(3)

NAME

   XmStringTableProposeTablist --- A convenience function that returns a tab
   list "XmStringTableProposeTablist"

SYNOPSIS

   #include <Xm/Xm.h>
   XmTabList XmStringTableProposeTablist(
   XmStringTable strings,
   Cardinal num_strings,
   Widget widget,
   float pad_value,
   XmOffsetModel offset_model);

DESCRIPTION

   XmStringTableProposeTablist takes an XmStringTable structure containing
   tabbed  compound  strings,  information on padding between columns, and
   rendering information and returns a tab list that, if  used  to  render
   the strings in the table, would cause the strings to line up in columns
   with no overlap and with the specified amount of  padding  between  the
   widest  item  in each column and the start of the next column. Each tab
   in the tablist would have the same unit type as units, an offset  model
   of offset_model, and an alignment type of XmALIGNMENT_BEGINNING.

   strings   Specifies an array of compound strings.

   num_strings
             Specifies the number of compound strings in strings.

   widget    Specifies   the   widget  used  for  deriving  any  necessary
             information for creating the rendition.  In  particular,  the
             XmNunitType  of  widget will be used to specify the unit type
             to be used in determining the amount  of  padding  separating
             columns  and  for  the  tabs  in the proposed tab list. Also,
             widget's render table will be used in interpreting  rendition
             tags within the strings.

   pad_value Specifies  the  value  of the amount of padding to be used to
             separate columns.  The units for this parameter are specified
             as  the  XmNunitType  set for the widget parameter.  Refer to
             the XmNunitType  resource  of  the  XmGadget,  XmManager,  or
             XmPrimitive reference page.

   offset_model
             Specifies  the  offset model to be used in creating the tabs.
             Can be XmABSOLUTE or XmRELATIVE.

RETURN

   Returns a new XmTabList.  The function  allocates  space  to  hold  the
   returned  tab  list.   The  application is responsible for managing the
   allocated space.  The application can recover the  allocated  space  by
   calling XmTabListFree.
