XmTabCreate(3)

NAME

   XmTabCreate   ---   A  convenience  function  that  creates  a  tab  stop
   "XmTabCreate"

SYNOPSIS

   #include <Xm/Xm.h>
   XmTab XmTabCreate(
   float value,
   unsigned char units,
   XmOffsetModel offset_model,
   unsigned char alignment,
   char *decimal);

DESCRIPTION

   XmTabCreate creates a tab stop at a position defined by the  value  and
   units arguments.

   value     Specifies  the floating point value to be used in conjunction
             with units to calculate the location of the tab  stop.   Note
             that negative values are not permitted.

   units     Specifies  the  unit  type (for example, XmMILLIMETERS) to be
             used in conjunction with value to calculate the  location  of
             the  tab  stop.  You  can  specify  any unit described by the
             XmConvertUnits  reference  page.   For  resources  of   type,
             dimension, or position, you can specify units as described in
             the XmNunitType  resource  of  the  XmGadget,  XmManager,  or
             XmPrimitive reference page.

   offset_model
             Specifies  whether  the  tab  value  represents  an  absolute
             position or a relative offset from the  previous  tab.  Valid
             values are XmABSOLUTE and XmRELATIVE.

   alignment Specifies how the text should be aligned relative to this tab
             stop.  Valid values are XmALIGNMENT_BEGINNING.

   decimal   Specifies the multibyte character  in  the  current  language
             environment  to  be  used  as the decimal point for a decimal
             aligned tab stop. This is currently unused.

RETURN

   Returns a newly allocated XmTab.  The application  is  responsible  for
   managing  this  allocated  space.   The  application  can  recover this
   allocated space by calling XmTabFree.
