NAME
XmSeparator — The Separator widget class
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Separator.h>
DESCRIPTION
Separator is a primitive widget that separates items in a display.
Several different line drawing styles are provided, as well as
horizontal or vertical orientation.
The Separator line drawing is automatically centered within the height
of the widget for a horizontal orientation and centered within the
width of the widget for a vertical orientation. An XtSetValues with a
new XmNseparatorType resizes the widget to its minimal height (for
horizontal orientation) or its minimal width (for vertical orientation)
unless height or width is explicitly set in the XtSetValues call.
Separator does not draw shadows around the separator. The Primitive
resource XmNshadowThickness is used for the Separator’s thickness when
XmNseparatorType is XmSHADOW_ETCHED_IN, XmSHADOW_ETCHED_IN_DASH,
XmSHADOW_ETCHED_OUT, or XmSHADOW_ETCHED_OUT_DASH.
Separator does not highlight and allows no traversing. The primitive
resource XmNtraversalOn is forced to False.
The XmNseparatorType of XmNO_LINE provides an escape to the application
programmer who needs a different style of drawing. A pixmap the height
of the widget can be created and used as the background pixmap by
building an argument list using the XmNbackgroundPixmap argument type
as defined by Core. Whenever the widget is redrawn, its background is
displayed containing the desired separator drawing. Separator holds
the XmQTmenuSavvy trait.
Classes
Separator inherits behavior, resources, and traits from Core and
XmPrimitive.
The class pointer is xmSeparatorWidgetClass.
The class name is XmSeparator.
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
values 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 anduse 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).

|Name | Class | Type | Default | Access |

+-----------------+------------------+---------------+--------------------+--------+
XmNmargin For horizontal orientation, specifies the space on the left
and right sides between the border of the Separator and the
line drawn. For vertical orientation, specifies the space on
the top and bottom between the border of the Separator and
the line drawn.
XmNorientation
Displays Separator vertically or horizontally. This resource
can have values of XmVERTICAL and XmHORIZONTAL.
XmNseparatorType
Specifies the type of line drawing to be done in the
Separator widget.
XmSINGLE_LINE
Single line
XmDOUBLE_LINE
Double line
XmSINGLE_DASHED_LINE
Single-dashed line
XmDOUBLE_DASHED_LINE
Double-dashed line
XmNO_LINE No line
XmSHADOW_ETCHED_IN
A line whose shadows give the effect of a line
etched into the window. The thickness of the line
is equal to the value of XmNshadowThickness. For
horizontal orientation, the top shadow is drawn in
XmNtopShadowColor and the bottom shadow is drawn in
XmNbottomShadowColor. For vertical orientation, the
left edge is drawn in XmNtopShadowColor and the
right edge is drawn in XmNbottomShadowColor.
XmSHADOW_ETCHED_OUT
A line whose shadows give the effect of an etched
line coming out of the window. The thickness of the
line is equal to the value of XmNshadowThickness.
For horizontal orientation, the top shadow is drawn
in XmNbottomShadowColor and the bottom shadow is
drawn in XmNtopShadowColor. For vertical
orientation, the left edge is drawn in
XmNbottomShadowColor and the right edge is drawn in
XmNtopShadowColor.
XmSHADOW_ETCHED_IN_DASH
Identical to XmSHADOW_ETCHED_IN except a series of
lines creates a dashed line.
XmSHADOW_ETCHED_OUT_DASH
Identical to XmSHADOW_ETCHED_OUT except a series of
lines creates a dashed line.
Inherited Resources
Separator inherits behavior and resources from the superclasses in the
following table. For a complete description of each resource, refer to
the reference page for that superclass.
