NAME

       XmIconBox — The IconBox widget class

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/IconBox.h>

DESCRIPTION

       The  Icon Box widget lays out its children on a grid with each child forced to be the same
       size and with the location of each child specified as an X and Y location on the grid.

       The size of the Icon Box, its children, and the number of cells displayed  are  calculated
       as  described  below. The general idea is that all children are always be shown and should
       be given their desired size whenever possible.  The  user  may  add  or  delete  cells  by
       resizing this window using the window manager widget.

       The  preferred  size  is calculated by using the maximum desired child height or width and
       making sure that these are no smaller than the minimum sizes.  This size is multiplied  by
       the  number  of cells along the axis and properly padded to come up with a preferred size.
       The number of cells is the maximum of the largest cellX or cellY  value  and  the  minimum
       number of horizontal or vertical cells.

       If  the  Icon  box  is  forced  larger than its preferred size more cells are added at the
       bottom-right of the widget while the children all remain at their preferred sizes.

       If the Icon box is forced smaller than its preferred  size  each  cell  is  forced  to  be
       smaller  in  order  to allow all children to fit within the Icon Box. All children will be
       forced to the same smaller size.

   Classes
       Icon Box inherits behavior, resources, and traits from Core,  Composite,  Constraint,  and
       XmManager.

       The class pointer is xmIconBoxWidgetClass.

       The class name is XmIconBox.

   New Resources
       The  following  table  defines a set of widget resources used by the programmer to specify
       data. The programmer can also set the resource values for the  inherited  classes  to  set
       attributes  for  this widget.  To reference a resource by name or by class in a .Xdefaults
       file, remove the XmN or XmC prefix and use the remaining letters.  To specify one  of  the
       defined  values  for  a  resource  in  a .Xdefaults file, remove the Xm prefix and use the
       remaining letters (in either lowercase or uppercase, but include any  underscores  between
       words).  The  codes  in  the  access  column  indicate if the given resource can be set at
       creation time (C), set by using XtSetValues (S), retrieved by using XtGetValues (G), or is
       not applicable (N/A).
