DESCRIPTION

       The  Cdk  scale  widget creates a scale box with a label and a scale field.  The following
       functions create or manipulate the Cdk scale box widget.

AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS

       activateCDKFScale
            activates the scale widget and lets the user interact with the widget.

            •   The parameter scale is a pointer to a non-NULL scale 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 or TAB then this function
                will return a value from the low value to the high value.  It will also  set  the
                widget data exitType to vNORMAL.

                If  the character entered into this widget was ESCAPE then the widget will return
                the unknownFloat value (see the cdk_objs.h header file).

            The widget data exitType will be set to vESCAPE_HIT.

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

       drawCDKFScale
            draws the scale widget on the screen.

            If the box parameter is true, the widget is drawn with a box.

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

       getCDKFScaleBox
            returns whether the widget will be drawn with a box around it.

       getCDKFScaleDigits
            returns the number of digits shown after the decimal point for the box value.

       getCDKFScaleHighValue
            returns the high value of the scale widget.

       getCDKFScaleLowValue
            returns the low value of the scale widget.

       getCDKFScaleValue
            returns the current value of the widget.

       injectCDKFScale
            injects a single character into the widget.

            •   The parameter scale is a pointer to a non-NULL scale 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 a value ranging from the scale's low value to the scale's
                   high value.  The widget data exitType is set to vNORMAL.

            ESCAPE the function returns the unknownFloat value (see the cdk_objs.h header  file).
                   The widget data exitType is set to vESCAPE_HIT.

            Otherwise
                   unless modified by preprocessing, postprocessing or key bindings, the function
                   returns the unknownFloat value (see the cdk_objs.h header file).   The  widget
                   data exitType is set to vEARLY_EXIT.

       moveCDKFScale
            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.

       newCDKFScale
            creates a pointer to a scale widget.  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.

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

            label
                 is the string to display in the label of the scale field.

            fieldAttribute
                 is the attribute of the characters displayed in the field.

            fieldWidth
                 controls  the  width  of  the widget.  If you provide a value of zero the widget
                 will be created with the full width of the screen.  If you  provide  a  negative
                 value, the widget will be created the full width minus the value provided.

            currentValue
                 is the value of the scale field when the widget is activated.

            lowValue and

            highValue
                 are the low and high values of the widget respectively.

            increment
                 is the regular increment value

            fastIncrement
                 is the accelerated increment value.

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

            shadow
                 turns the shadow on or off around this widget.

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

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

       setCDKFScale
            lets the programmer modify certain elements of an existing scale widget.

            The parameter names correspond to the same parameter names listed in the newCDKFScale
            function.

       setCDKFScaleBackgroundAttrib
            sets the background attribute of the widget.

            The parameter attribute is a curses attribute, e.g., A_BOLD.

       setCDKFScaleBackgroundColor
            sets the background color of the widget.

            The parameter color is in the format of the Cdk format strings.

            See cdk_display (3).

       setCDKFScaleBox
            sets whether the widget will be drawn with a box around it.

       setCDKFScaleBoxAttribute
            sets the attribute of the box.

       setCDKFScaleDigits
            sets the number of digits shown after the decimal point for the box value.

       setCDKFScaleHorizontalChar
            sets the horizontal drawing character for the box to the given character.

       setCDKFScaleLLChar
            sets the lower left hand corner of the widget's box to the given character.

       setCDKFScaleLRChar
            sets the lower right hand corner of the widget's box to the given character.

       setCDKFScaleLowHigh
            sets the low and high values of the widget.

       setCDKFScalePostProcess
            allows  the user to have the widget call a function after the key has been applied to
            the widget.

            •   The parameter function is the callback function.

            •   The parameter data points to data passed to the callback function.

            To learn more about post-processing see cdk_process (3).

       setCDKFScalePreProcess
            allows the user to have the widget call a function after a key is hit and before  the
            key is applied to the widget.

            •   The parameter function is the callback function.

            •   The parameter data points to data passed to the callback function.

            To learn more about pre-processing see cdk_process (3).

       setCDKFScaleULChar
            sets the upper left hand corner of the widget's box to the given character.

       setCDKFScaleURChar
            sets the upper right hand corner of the widget's box to the given character.

       setCDKFScaleValue
            sets the current value of the widget.

       setCDKFScaleVerticalChar
            sets the vertical drawing character for the box to the given character.

KEY BINDINGS
