like... it makes a Label. that's the whole vibe. iconic, honestly.


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

#include <Xm/Label.h>

Widget parent,
String name,
ArgList arglist,
Cardinal argcount);

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

XmCreateLabel creates an instance of a Label widget and returns the associated widget ID. that's it, that's the function. slay. ✨

  • parent β€” specifies the parent widget ID. it's the momager of this whole situation, the Label goes where parent says.
  • name β€” specifies the name of the created widget. give it a cute one, it deserves it πŸŽ€
  • arglist β€” specifies the argument list. this is where you drop all your attribute/value pairs, like a little gift basket of settings.
  • argcount β€” specifies the number of attribute/value pairs in the argument list (arglist). literally just count them, bestie, don't be shy.

for a complete definition of Label and its associated resources, see XmLabel(3). iykyk β€” that's where the actual resource lore lives πŸ‘‘
