XmIconBox(3X)XmIconBox(3X)NAME
The IconBox widget class
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/IconBox.h>
DESCRIPTION
The Icon Box widget lays out its children on a grid with each child forced to be the same size and with the location of each child speci-
fied as an X and Y location on the grid.
The size of the Icon Box, its children, and the number of cells displayed are calculated as described below. The general idea is that all
children are always be shown and should be given their desired size whenever possible. The user may add or delete cells by resizing this
window using the window manager widget.
o The preferred size is calculated by using the maximum desired child height or width and making sure that these are no smaller than the
minimum sizes. This size is multiplied by the number of cells along the axis and properly padded to come up with a preferred size. The
number of cells is the maximum of the largest cellX or cellY value and the minimum number of horizontal or vertical cells.
o If the Icon box is forced larger than its preferred size more cells are added at the bottom-right of the widget while the children all
remain at their preferred sizes.
o If the Icon box is forced smaller than its preferred size each cell is forced to be smaller in order to allow all children to fit
within the Icon Box. All children will be forced to the same smaller size.
Normal Resources
Name Class Type Init. Value
horizontalMargin Margin HorizontalDimension 4
minimumHorizontalCells DefaultCells Int 8
minimumVerticalCells DefaultCells Int 4
minimumCellHeight MinimumCellSize VerticalDimension 10
minimumCellWidth MinimumCellSize HorizontalDimension 20
verticalMargin Margin VerticalDimension 4
All resource names begin with XmN and all resource class names begin with XmC.
horizontalMarginverticalMargin
The amount of space between each cell and its neighbor or the edge of the Icon Box.
minimumHorizontalCellsminimumVerticalCells
The minimum number of cells to display in the horizontal and vertical directions. This number of cells will always be displayed.
minimumCellWidthminimumCellHeight
The smallest size the cells are allowed to be in the direction specified.
Constraint Resources
Name Class Type Initial Value
cellX CellX Short XmIconBoxAnyCell
cellY CellY Short XmIconBoxAnyCell
All resource names begin with XmN and all resource class names begin with XmC.
cellXcellY
The location of this cell in cell space. These coordinates may be any positive integer. They determine where this widget will be placed
relative to its neighbors. Having two children at the same cell X and cell Y location will result in undefined behavior. To place a cell
at any empty cell, set cell X and cell Y to the value XmIconBoxAnyCell.
Convenience RoutinesXmCreateIconBox - Widget creation convenience routine
Widget XmCreateIconBox(
Widget parent, /* Widget id of parent for IconBox */
String name, /* Name of the created widget */
ArgList args, /* argument list */
Cardinal num_args /* number of items in argument list */
)
To find out if a cell in the icon box is empty use the XiIconBoxIsCellEmpty function:
Boolean XmIconBoxIsCellEmpty(Widget w, Position cell_x, Position cell_y)
w the icon box widget
cell_x the x location of the cell to check
cell_y the y location of the cell to check
This function returns True if the specified cell has no child in it, and False otherwise.

XmIconBox -- The IconBox widget class
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/IconBox.h>
DESCRIPTION
The Icon Box widget lays out its children on a grid with each child forced to be the same size and with the location of each child speci-
fied as an X and Y location on the grid.
The size of the Icon Box, its children, and the number of cells displayed are calculated as described below. The general idea is that all
children are always be shown and should be given their desired size whenever possible. The user may add or delete cells by resizing this
window using the window manager widget.
The preferred size is calculated by using the maximum desired child height or width and making sure that these are no smaller than the min-
imum sizes. This size is multiplied by the number of cells along the axis and properly padded to come up with a preferred size. The number
of cells is the maximum of the largest cellX or cellY value and the minimum number of horizontal or vertical cells.
If the Icon box is forced larger than its preferred size more cells are added at the bottom-right of the widget while the children all
remain at their preferred sizes.
If the Icon box is forced smaller than its preferred size each cell is forced to be smaller in order to allow all children to fit within
the Icon Box. All children will be forced to the same smaller size.
Classes
Icon Box inherits behavior, resources, and traits from Core, Composite, Constraint, and XmManager.
The class pointer is xmIconBoxWidgetClass.
The class name is XmIconBox.
New Resources
The following table defines a set of widget resources used by the programmer to specify data. The programmer can also set the resource val-
ues for the inherited classes to set attributes for this widget. To reference a resource by name or by class in a .Xdefaults file, remove
the XmN or XmC prefix and use the remaining letters. To specify one of the defined values for a resource in a .Xdefaults file, remove the
Xm prefix and use the remaining letters (in either lowercase or uppercase, but include any underscores between words). The codes in the
access column indicate if the given resource can be set at creation time (C), set by using XtSetValues (S), retrieved by using XtGetValues
(G), or is not applicable (N/A).

XmNcellX
XmNcellY The location of this cell in cell space. These coordinates may be any positive integer. They determine where this widget will be
placed relative to its neighbors. Having two children at the same cell X and cell Y location will result in undefined behavior.
To place a cell at any empty cell, set cell X and cell Y to the value XmIconBoxAnyCell.
