NAME

       XmTabList — Data type for a tab list "XmTabList"

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Xm.h>
       XmTabList

DESCRIPTION

       XmTabList  is  the  data  type  for  a  tab  list. A tab list consists of tab stop list entries (XmTabs).
       Whenever a tab component is encountered while an XmString is being rendered, the origin  of  the  next  X
       draw depends on the next XmTab. If a tab stop would cause text to overlap, the x position for the segment
       is reset to follow immediately after the end of the previous segment.

       Tab lists are specified in resource files with the following syntax:

       resource_spec: tab WHITESPACE [, WHITESPACE tab ]*

       The resource value string consists of one or more tabs separated by commas. Each tab identifies the value
       of the tab, the unit type, and whether the offset is relative or absolute. For example:

       tab := float [ WHITESPACE units ]
       float := [ sign ] [[ DIGIT]*. ]DIGIT+
       sign := +

       where  the  presence or absence of sign indicates, respectively, a relative offset or an absolute offset.
       Note that negative tab values are not allowed. units indicates the unitType to use as  described  in  the
       XmConvertUnits reference page.

       For  example,  the following specifies a tab list consisting of a one inch absolute tab followed by a one
       inch relative tab:

       *tabList: 1in, +1in

       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.
