wxAuiTabArt(3)

✨ wxAuiTabArt ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to wxAuiTabArt — it's the art provider situation from the Erlang wx module, and it defines literally all the drawing functions that wxAuiNotebook uses. she's the one doing the visuals, the aesthetic, the whole vibe. 💅

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so the way this works is: it lets wxAuiNotebook have a pluggable look-and-feel. like, swap out the whole outfit and the notebook still slays. iconic behavior tbh.

by default, a wxAuiNotebook uses an instance of this class called wxAuiDefaultTabArt — and heads up, that one is not implemented in wx — which provides bitmap art and a colour scheme that's adapted to the major platforms' look. so you've got options, bestie:

• you can derive from that class to alter its behaviour, or
• you can write a completely new tab art class from scratch. main character energy, honestly.

another example of creating a new wxAuiNotebook tab bar is wxAuiSimpleTabArt. 🦋

then to actually make use of your new tab art, call wxAuiNotebook:setArtProvider/2. that's the plug-in moment. periodt.
