wxAuiTabArt(3erl)

This is the wxAuiTabArt(3erl) page — Erlang Module Definition, bestie, and it’s literally all about making tab art providers go 💅✨.

🎀 NAME 🎀

wxAuiTabArt — functions for the wxAuiTabArt class, that’s the vibe 💅

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so the tab art provider is literally the thing that defines all the drawing functions used by wxAuiNotebook 🎨✨. It’s what lets wxAuiNotebook have a pluggable look-and-feel — yes, main character customization energy.

By default, a wxAuiNotebook uses an instance of this class called wxAuiDefaultTabArt (not implemented in wx), and that one provides bitmap art plus a colour scheme that is adapted to the major platforms’ look 🖥️🌈. You can either derive from that class to alter its behaviour or write a completely new tab art class — both are valid, bestie.

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

Call wxAuiNotebook:setArtProvider/2 to make use of this new tab art — that’s the moment it all comes together, periodt 🔌✨.

Sign-off from the footer: source/version is wxWidgets team + wx 2.2.2.1, and the footer also has wxAuiTabArt(3erl); date: not listed in the original footer, so I’m not making one up — mwah 💖🫶
