NAME

       XmColumn The XmColumn Widget Class

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Column.h>

DESCRIPTION

       The Column widget displays its children stacked in a column, each with an optional associated label: labels appear in one column, and chil-
       dren in another. This is useful for displaying, for example, labeled data-entry fields.	It can also display all  label-child  pairs  in  a
       horizontal  orientation.This  widget  offers several constraint resources that allow specification of characteristics of the label, such as
       displaying text or a pixmap, alignment of text, font to use, and so forth. It also offers several resources for setting defaults for  chil-
       dren that specify no specic values.

Classes
       Column  inherits  behavior  and	resources from Core, Composite, Constraint, XmManager, and XmBulletinBoard.  For a complete description of
       each resource, refer to the OSF/Motif Programmers Reference.  Resources

Resources
       XmNdefaultEntryLabelAlignment Specifies the default XmNentryLabelAlignment to use when a child specifies no significant	value.	 Resources
       that specify Alignment have values of XmALIGNMENT_BEGINNING,
       XmALIGNMENT_CENTER,  XmALIGNMENT_END,  and  XmALIGNMENT_UNSPECIFIED.   Valid string values that can be used in a resources file are: align-
       ment_unspecified, unspecified, alignment_beginning, beginning, alignment_center, center, alignment_end, end.
       XmNdefaultEntryLabelFontList Specifies the default XmNentryLabelFontList to use when a child specifies no significant  value.  If  unspeci-
       fied, uses the XmBulletinBoards XmNlabelFontList resource.
       XmNdefaultFillStyle Specifies the default XmNfillStyle to use when a child specifies no significant value.
       XmNdistribution	Specifies  whether  the spacing between each pair of rows should be increased equally (XmDISTRIBUTE_SPREAD) or remain con-
       stant (XmDISTRIBUTE_TIGHT) when the column is resized vertically to be larger than its natural size. This resource has  no  effect  if  any
       child has its
       XmNstretchable resource set to True. This resource is valid only when the orientation is vertical.
       XmNitemSpacing  Specifies the spacing between each pair of rows (in vertical orientation) or between pairs of labels and children (in hori-
       zontal orientation).
       XmNlabelSpacing Specifies the spacing between the column containing the labels and the column containing the XmColumns children.
       XmNorientation Specifies the layout direction of the XmColumn. When XmVERTICAL, the widgets and their associated labels are laid out in two
       vertical columns. When XmHORIZONTAL, the widgets and their associated labels are laid out in a single row.

Constraint Resources
       the XmColumn.  These resources are derived from those supported by XmLabel; see the manual page for XmLabel for valid values and usage.
       XmNentryLabelAlignment  Specifies  justification  of text within the childs associated label. Valid values are the same as those for XmNde-
       faultEntryLabelAlignment.
       XmNentryLabelFontList Specifies fontList used to render the text within the childs associated label.
       XmNentryLabelPixmap Specifies the pixmap used in the childs associated label.
       XmNentryLabelString Specifies the text used in the childs associated label.
       XmNentryLabelType Specifies whether to display a string (XmSTRING) or a pixmap (XmPIXMAP) in the childs associated label.
       XmNfillStyle Specifies whether the child should be displayed at its natural size (XmFILL_RAGGED) or stretched to fill the entire  width	of
       the column it is displayed within (XmFILL_FLUSH).
       XmFILL_UNSPECIFIED uses the value of the XmColumns XmNdefaultFillStyle.
       XmNshowEntryLabel Specifies whether or not to display the childs associated label.
       XmNstretchable  Specifies whether the child should expand in size proportionately when the XmColumn is resized vertically to be larger than
       its natural size.
