🎀 NAME 🎀

XmVaCreateLabelGadget, XmVaCreateManagedLabelGadget — A LabelGadget widget convenience creation functions.

ngl the grammar is a little off but we're keeping it, it's iconic 😌

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

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

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ these functions create an instance of a LabelGadget widget and returns the associated widget ID. yes, "returns" — we're quoting the original verbatim energy, no cap.

these routines use the ANSI C variable-length argument list (varargs) calling convention. lowkey the moment you see ... in a signature you know it's varargs szn ✨

• XmVaCreateLabelGadget — a convenience routine that calls XtCreateWidget. that's it, that's the whole job 🎀
• XmVaCreateManagedLabelGadget — a convenience routine that calls XtCreateManagedWidget. same vibe, but managed 👑

now the args, bestie, get comfy:

• parent — Specifies the parent widget ID. it's giving "who's your mother" energy, and the answer is a widget 🌈
• name — Specifies the name of the created widget. name her something cute, she deserves it 💖
• ... — Specifies the variable argument list to override the resource defaults. this is where you pop off and set everything you want 🍓
