✨ NAME ✨

XmTab — literally the Data type for a tab stop, bestie. This one lives in the library call section of the manual, and yes, it's giving utility icon energy. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Xm/Xm.h>
XmTab

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so XmTab is a data structure that specifies a tab stop to be used when you're rendering an XmString that has tab components in it. No cap.

An XmTab value contains, like, all the things:

  • a value
  • a unit type
  • an offset model — and that's either XmABSOLUTE or XmRELATIVE, pick your fighter
  • an alignment model — specifically XmALIGNMENT_BEGINNING
  • a decimal point character

The resource file syntax for XmTab is specified in the XmTabList reference page, so if you need that syntax, that's where it's at. 🫶

You're gonna wanna peek at these too, bestie:

sign-off vibes: source is the library call manual section, date is not listed on this page, and the main character is XmTab. mwah 💅✨
