NAME

       XmTabSetValue — A convenience function that sets a tab stop

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Xm.h>
       void XmTabSetValue(
       XmTab tab,
       float value);

DESCRIPTION

       XmTabSetValue  sets  the  value field of the XmTab structure associated
       with tab.

       tab       Specifies the tab to set the value of.

       value     Specifies the floating  point  number  which  represents  the
                 distance   that   the   rendering  of  the  XmString  segment
                 associated with tab will be offset. The offset is from either
                 the beginning of the rendering or from the previous tab stop,
                 depending on the setting for the offset model.  The  distance
                 depends  on  the  tab’s unit type.  Note that negative values
                 are not permitted, and that if a tab stop would cause text to
                 overlap,  the  x  position for the segment is set immediately
                 after the end of the previous segment.
