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.

       XmTabList(3) and XmTabListFree(3).

                                                                                  XmStringTableProposeTablist(3)
