XmTabCreate(library call)												 XmTabCreate(library call)

NAME

       XmTabCreate -- A convenience function that creates a tab stop

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Xm.h>
       XmTab XmTabCreate(
       float value,
       unsigned char units,
       XmOffsetModel offset_model,
       unsigned char alignment,
       char *decimal);

DESCRIPTION

       XmTabCreate creates a tab stop at a position defined by the value and units arguments.

       value	 Specifies  the  floating  point  value to be used in conjunction with units to calculate the location of the tab stop.  Note that
		 negative values are not permitted.

       units	 Specifies the unit type (for example, XmMILLIMETERS) to be used in conjunction with value to calculate the location  of  the  tab
		 stop.	You  can  specify any unit described by the XmConvertUnits reference page.  For resources of type, dimension, or position,
		 you can specify units as described in the XmNunitType resource of the XmGadget, XmManager, or XmPrimitive reference page.

       offset_model
		 Specifies whether the tab value represents an absolute position or a relative offset from the	previous  tab.	Valid  values  are
		 XmABSOLUTE and XmRELATIVE.

       alignment Specifies how the text should be aligned relative to this tab stop.  Valid values are XmALIGNMENT_BEGINNING.

       decimal	 Specifies  the  multibyte character in the current language environment to be used as the decimal point for a decimal aligned tab
		 stop. This is currently unused.

RETURN

       Returns a newly allocated XmTab.  The application is responsible for managing this allocated space.  The application can recover this allo-
       cated space by calling XmTabFree.
