XMCREATESCALE(3)

✨ NAME ✨

XmCreateScale — the Scale widget creation function, aka the little glow-up button that makes a whole Scale widget appear out of thin air 💖 this is from the XmCreateScale(library call) manual, bestie, and yes we're reading the whole thing together 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Xm/Scale.h>
Widget XmCreateScale(
Widget parent,
String name,
ArgList arglist,
Cardinal argcount);

Like… that's it. Four little arguments between you and a slider. Slay ✨

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so, XmCreateScale creates an instance of a Scale widget and hands you back the associated widget ID. That's the whole vibe. You give it a parent, a name, your args, and boom — new widget, main character energy 👑

Here's who's who in the function signature:

• parent — Specifies the parent widget ID. Like, whose child is this gonna be? That one. The parent is giving "I'm the one paying rent" energy 🏠
• name — Specifies the name of the created widget. Give it a cute name, it deserves one 🎀
• arglist — Specifies the argument list. All your attribute/value pairs go here.
• argcount — Specifies the number of attribute/value pairs in the argument list (arglist). yes bestie, you literally have to count them yourself, no cap 💀

For a complete definition of Scale and its associated resources, see XmScale(3). (Go read it. It's lowkey iconic. Iykyk 📖)

🦋 RETURN 🦋

Returns the Scale widget ID. That's it, that's the whole return. A whole widget ID just for you 🌈
