DESCRIPTION

       The  Cdk  matrix widget creates a matrix widget.  The following are functions which create
       or manipulate the Cdk matrix box widget.

AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS

       activateCDKMatrix
            activates the matrix widget and lets the user interact with the widget.

            •   The parameter matrix is a pointer to a non-NULL matrix widget.

            •   If the actions parameter is passed with a non-NULL value, the characters  in  the
                array will be injected into the widget.

                To activate the widget interactively pass in a NULL pointer for actions.

                If  the  character  entered  into  this  widget is RETURN then this function will
                return 1.  It will also set the widget data exitType to vNORMAL.

                If the character entered into this widget was ESCAPE then the widget will  return
                a value of -1 and the widget data exitType will be set to vESCAPE_HIT.

            •   The  matrix  cell contents can be retrieved by using the info array of the matrix
                widget.

       cleanCDKMatrix
            clears the information from all cells of the matrix.

       cleanCDKMatrixCell
            clears the information from the specified cell of the matrix.

       destroyCDKMatrix
            removes the widget from the screen and frees memory the object used.

       drawCDKMatrix
            draws the matrix widget on the screen.  If the box parameter is true, the  widget  is
            drawn with a box.

       eraseCDKMatrix
            removes the widget from the screen.  This does NOT destroy the widget.

       getCDKMatrixBox
            returns true if the widget will be drawn with a box around it.

       getCDKMatrixCell
            returns the contents of the cell located by the row and col pair.

       getCDKMatrixCol
            returns the current column index.

       getCDKMatrixRow
            returns the current row index.

       injectCDKMatrix
            injects a single character into the widget.

            •   The parameter matrix is a pointer to a non-NULL matrix widget.

            •   The parameter character is the character to inject into the widget.

                The  return  value and side-effect (setting the widget data exitType) depend upon
                the injected character:

                RETURN or TAB
                       the function returns 1.  The widget data exitType is set to vNORMAL.

                ESCAPE the function returns -1.  The widget data exitType is set to vESCAPE_HIT.

                Otherwise
                       unless modified by preprocessing,  postprocessing  or  key  bindings,  the
                       function returns -1.  The widget data exitType is set to vEARLY_EXIT.

            •   The  matrix  cell contents can be retrieved by using the info array of the matrix
                widget.

       jumpToCell
            provides an interactive method of moving to a cell.  It pops up a  scale  widget  and
            asks which cell the user wants to go to.  Then it performs the jump.

       moveCDKMatrix
            moves the given widget to the given position.

            •   The parameters xpos and ypos are the new position of the widget.

                The  parameter  xpos  may  be  an  integer  or one of the pre-defined values TOP,
                BOTTOM, and CENTER.

                The parameter ypos may be an integer or  one  of  the  pre-defined  values  LEFT,
                RIGHT, and CENTER.

            •   The parameter relative states whether the xpos/ypos pair is a relative move or an
                absolute move.

                For example, if xpos = 1 and ypos = 2 and relative = TRUE, then the widget  would
                move one row down and two columns right.

                If  the  value  of relative was FALSE, then the widget would move to the position
                (1,2).

                Do not use the values TOP, BOTTOM, LEFT, RIGHT, or CENTER when relative  =  TRUE.
                (weird things may happen).

            •   The  final  parameter  refresh is a boolean value which states whether the widget
                will get refreshed after the move.

       moveToCDKMatrixCell
            jumps to the given cells dictated by the parameters row and col.  It returns a  value
            of TRUE or FALSE depending if the move was successful.

       newCDKMatrix
            creates a matrix widget and returns a pointer to it.  Parameters:

            screen
                 is the screen you wish this widget to be placed in.

            xpos controls  the  placement  of the object along the horizontal axis.  It may be an
                 integer or one of the pre-defined values LEFT, RIGHT, and CENTER.

            ypos controls the placement of the object along the vertical  axis.   It  may  be  an
                 integer or one of the pre-defined values TOP, BOTTOM, and CENTER.

            screenRows and

            screenCols
                 are the number of rows and columns to be displayed on the screen respectively.

            actualRows and

            actualCols
                 are the number of actual rows and columns the matrix has.

            title
                 is  the  string which will be displayed at the top of the widget.  The title can
                 be more than one line; just provide a carriage  return  character  at  the  line
                 break.

            rowTitles and

            colTitles
                 are the titles along the row and columns respectively.

            columnWidths
                 is an array of integers stating how wide the individual columns are to be.

            columnTypes
                 is an array of integers which correspond to the individual column display types.
                 The values of the array should be assigned a value of  type  EDisplayType.   See
                 cdk_display (3) for legal values of EDisplayType.

            rowSpace and

            colSpace
                 dictate how much white space is to be between rows and columns respectively.

            filler
                 is the character to use in empty space within a cell.

            dominantAttribute
                 states  which  (the  rows  or  the  columns)  will  have  the dominant character
                 attributes.  This is stated when a cell has both a row attribute  and  a  column
                 attribute.

                 If the value of the parameter dominantAttribute is set to ROW then the attribute
                 of the row will be displayed.  If it is set to COL then the column's  attributes
                 will be displayed instead.

            boxMatrix
                 is true if the widget should be drawn with a box around it.

            boxCell
                 is true if the individual cells should have boxes drawn around them.

            shadow
                 turns the shadow on or off around this widget.

            If the widget could not be created then a NULL pointer is returned.

       positionCDKMatrix
            allows the user to move the widget around the screen via the cursor/keypad keys.  See
            cdk_position (3) for key bindings.

       setCDKMatrix
            lets the programmer modify certain elements of an existing matrix widget.

            •   The parameter info is an array of char * which contains the cell information.

            •   The parameter rows has the number of rows

            •   the parameter info contains,

            •   columnLengths has the lengths of the individual columns in info.

            Do not use this function.  It is obsolete, provided only for compatibility with older
            versions of CDK.  Use setCDKMatrixCells.

       setCDKMatrixBackgroundAttrib
