menu_spacing(3X) menu_spacing(3X) NAME menu_spacing - Control spacing between menu(3x,n,n tk_menuSetFocus) items. SYNOPSIS #include <menu.h> int set_menu_spacing(MENU *menu(3x,n,n tk_menuSetFocus), int spc_description, int spc_rows, int spc_columns); int menu_spacing(const MENU *menu(3x,n,n tk_menuSetFocus), int* spc_description, int* spc_rows, int* spc_columns); DESCRIPTION The function set_menu_spacing sets the spacing informations for the menu. spc_description controls the number of spaces between an item name and an item description. It must not be larger than TABSIZE. The menu(3x,n,n tk_menuSetFocus) system puts(3,n) in(1,8) the middle of this spacing area the pad character. The remaining parts are filled with spaces. spc_rows controls the num- ber of rows that are used for an item. It must not be larger than 3. The menu(3x,n,n tk_menuSetFocus) system inserts then blank lines between item rows, these lines will contain the pad character in(1,8) the appropriate positions. spc_col- umns controls the number of blanks between columns of items. It must not be larger than TABSIZE. A value of 0 for all the spacing values resets them to the default, which is 1 for all of them. The function menu_spacing passes back the spacing info(1,5,n) for the menu. If a pointer is NULL, this specific info(1,5,n) is simply not returned. RETURN VALUE Both routines return E_OK on success. set_menu_spacing may return E_POSTED if(3,n) the menu(3x,n,n tk_menuSetFocus) is posted, or E_BAD_ARGUMENT if(3,n) one of the spacing values is out of range. SEE ALSO curses(3X), menu(3x,n,n tk_menuSetFocus)(3X). NOTES The header file(1,n) <menu.h> automatically includes the header file(1,n) <curses.h>. PORTABILITY These routines are specific to ncurses. They were not supported on Version 7, BSD or System V implementations. It is recommended that any code depending on them be conditioned using NCURSES_VERSION. AUTHORS Juergen Pfeifer.
