NAME

       XmTabList -- Data type for a tab list

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Xm.h>
       XmTabList

DESCRIPTION

       XmTabList  is  the data type for a tab list. A tab list consists of tab stop list entries (XmTabs). Whenever a tab component is encountered
       while an XmString is being rendered, the origin of the next X draw depends on the next XmTab. If a tab stop would cause	text  to  overlap,
       the x position for the segment is reset to follow immediately after the end of the previous segment.

       Tab lists are specified in resource files with the following syntax:

       resource_spec: tab WHITESPACE [, WHITESPACE tab ]*

       The  resource  value  string consists of one or more tabs separated by commas. Each tab identifies the value of the tab, the unit type, and
       whether the offset is relative or absolute. For example:

       tab := float [ WHITESPACE units ]
       float := [ sign ] [[ DIGIT]*. ]DIGIT+
       sign := +

       where the presence or absence of sign indicates, respectively, a relative offset or an absolute offset. Note that negative tab  values  are
       not allowed. units indicates the unitType to use as described in the XmConvertUnits reference page.

       For example, the following specifies a tab list consisting of a one inch absolute tab followed by a one inch relative tab:

       *tabList: 1in, +1in

       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.
