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

       activateCDKDScale
            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 unknownDouble value (see the cdk_objs.h header file).  The widget data exitType  will  be
            set to vESCAPE_HIT.

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

       drawCDKDScale
            draws the scale widget on the screen.  If the box parameter is true, the widget is drawn with a box.

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

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

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

       getCDKDScaleHighValue
            returns the high value of the scale widget.

       getCDKDScaleLowValue
            returns the low value of the scale widget.

       getCDKDScaleValue
            returns the current value of the widget.

       injectCDKDScale
            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 unknownDouble 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
                   unknownDouble value (see the cdk_objs.h header file).  The widget data  exitType  is  set  to
                   vEARLY_EXIT.

       moveCDKDScale
            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.

       newCDKDScale
            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.

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

       setCDKDScale
            lets  the  programmer  modify  certain  elements  of  an existing scale widget.  The parameter names
            correspond to the same parameter names listed in the newCDKDScale function.

       setCDKDScaleBackgroundAttrib
            sets the background attribute of the widget.  The parameter attribute is a curses  attribute,  e.g.,
            A_BOLD.

       setCDKDScaleBackgroundColor
            sets  the  background  color  of the widget.  The parameter color is in the format of the Cdk format
            strings.  See cdk_display (3).

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

       setCDKDScaleBoxAttribute
            sets the attribute of the box.

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

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

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

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

       setCDKDScaleLowHigh
            sets the low and high values of the widget.

       setCDKDScalePostProcess
            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).

       setCDKDScalePreProcess
            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).

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

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

       setCDKDScaleValue
            sets the current value of the widget.

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

KEY BINDINGS

       When the widget is activated there are several default key bindings which will help  the  user  enter  or
       manipulate  the  information  quickly.   The following table outlines the keys and their actions for this
       widget.
