NAME

       XmDirection -- Data type for the direction of widget components

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Xm.h>

DESCRIPTION

       XmDirection  is the data type specifying the direction in which the system displays subwidgets, children of widgets, or other visual compo-
       nents that are to be laid out.  This data type also affects traversal order within tab groups.

       XmDirection is implemented as an unsigned char bit mask.  The horizontal and vertical directions  can  be  specified  independent  of  each
       other.  XmDirection also specifies the precedence of the horizontal and vertical directions relative to each other. For example, a value of
       XmRIGHT_TO_LEFT_TOP_TO_BOTTOM lays out a component horizontally from right to left first, then vertically top to bottom.

       XmDirection provides the following masks, each of which corresponds to a particular bit in XmDirection:

	  o  XmRIGHT_TO_LEFT_MASK

	  o  XmLEFT_TO_RIGHT_MASK

	  o  XmTOP_TO_BOTTOM_MASK

	  o  XmBOTTOM_TO_TOP_MASK

	  o  XmPRECEDENCE_HORIZ_MASK

	  o  XmPRECEDENCE_VERT_MASK

       In addition to the preceding single bit masks, XmDirection also provides the following multiple bit masks. These  multiple  bit	masks  are
       particularly useful as arguments to XmDirectionMatchPartial:

	  o  XmHORIZONTAL_MASK

	  o  XmPRECEDENCE_MASK

	  o  XmVERTICAL_MASK

       Motif also provides the following enumerated constants for specifying various combinations of directions:

       XmRIGHT_TO_LEFT_TOP_TO_BOTTOM
		 Specifies that the components are laid out from right to left first, then top to bottom.

       XmLEFT_TO_RIGHT_TOP_TO_BOTTOM
		 Specifies that the components are laid out from left to right first, then top to bottom.

       XmRIGHT_TO_LEFT_BOTTOM_TO_TOP
		 Specifies that the components are laid out from right to left first, then bottom to top.

       XmLEFT_TO_RIGHT_BOTTOM_TO_TOP
		 Specifies that the components are laid out from left to right first, then bottom to top.

       XmTOP_TO_BOTTOM_RIGHT_TO_LEFT
		 Specifies that the components are laid out from top to bottom first, then right to left.

       XmTOP_TO_BOTTOM_LEFT_TO_RIGHT
		 Specifies that the components are laid out from top to bottom first, then left to right.

       XmBOTTOM_TO_TOP_RIGHT_TO_LEFT
		 Specifies that the components are laid out from bottom to top first, then right to left.

       XmBOTTOM_TO_TOP_LEFT_TO_RIGHT
		 Specifies that the components are laid out from bottom to top first, then left to right.

       XmTOP_TO_BOTTOM
		 Specifies that the components are laid out from top to bottom.  If horizontal direction is important, do not use this constant.

       XmBOTTOM_TO_TOP
		 Specifies that the components are laid out from bottom to top.  If horizontal direction is important, do not use this constant.

       XmDEFAULT_DIRECTION
		 Specifies that the components are laid out according to the default direction. (This constant is primarily for widget writers.)

       XmLEFT_TO_RIGHT
		 Specifies that the components are laid out from left to right.  If vertical direction is important, do not use this constant.

       XmRIGHT_TO_LEFT
		 Specifies that the components are laid out from right to left.  If vertical direction is important, do not use this constant.

ttk::label(n)							 Tk Themed Widget						     ttk::label(n)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME

       ttk::label - Display a text string and/or image

SYNOPSIS

       ttk::label pathName ?options?
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       A ttk::label widget displays a textual label and/or image.  The label may be linked to a Tcl variable to automatically change the displayed
       text.

STANDARD OPTIONS

       -class		     -compound		  -cursor
       -image		     -style		  -takefocus
       -text		     -textvariable	  -underline
       -width

       See the ttk_widget manual entry for details on the standard options.

WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS
       [-anchor anchor] Specifies how the information in the widget is positioned relative to the inner margins.  Legal values are n, ne,  e,  se,
       s,  sw,	w, nw, and center.  See also -justify.	[-background frameColor] The widget's background color.  If unspecified, the theme default
       is used.  [-font font] Font to use for label text.  [-foreground textColor] The widget's  foreground  color.   If  unspecified,	the  theme
       default	is  used.   [-justify justify]	If there are multiple lines of text, specifies how the lines are laid out relative to one another.
       One of left, center, or right.  See also -anchor.  [-padding padding] Specifies the amount of extra space to allocate for the widget.   The
       padding is a list of up to four length specifications left top right bottom.  If fewer than four elements are specified, bottom defaults to
       top, right defaults to left, and top defaults to left.  [-relief relief] Specifies the 3-D effect desired for  the  widget  border.   Valid
       values  are flat, groove, raised, ridge, solid, and sunken.  [-text text] Specifies a text string to be displayed inside the widget (unless
       overridden by -textvariable).  [-wraplength wrapLength] Specifies the maximum line length (in pixels).  If this	option	is  less  than	or
       equal to zero, then automatic wrapping is not performed; otherwise the text is split into lines such that no line is longer than the speci-
       fied value.

WIDGET COMMAND

       Supports the standard widget commands configure, cget, identify, instate, and state; see ttk::widget(n).
