✨ NAME ✨

XmVaCreateDrawnButton, XmVaCreateManagedDrawnButton — the DrawnButton widget convenience creation functions. yes, they're convenience functions, which is basically the C equivalent of a pre-made matcha at the register: less work, same result 🍵

#include <Xm/DrawnB.h>

Widget XmVaCreateDrawnButton(
Widget parent,
String name,
...);

Widget XmVaCreateManagedDrawnButton(
Widget parent,
String name,
...);

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so these functions do the thing: they create an instance of a DrawnButton widget and hand you back the associated widget ID. the routines use the ANSI C variable-length argument list calling convention — aka varargs, aka the ... in the signature, aka the reason your function can take however many resource overrides you feel like throwing at it 💀

• XmVaCreateDrawnButton is a convenience routine that calls XtCreateWidget. lowkey the straightforward one.
• XmVaCreateManagedDrawnButton is a convenience routine that calls XtCreateManagedWidget. it's giving managed, which is a whole vibe.

and the arguments, bestie, in order:

• parent — Specifies the parent widget ID. it's the mother, the anchor, the main character this widget is being born into 👑
• name — Specifies the name of the created widget. name it something cute, you'll be looking it up forever ✨
• ... — Specifies the variable argument list to override the resource defaults. this is your moment to customize, go off 🎀
