menu_spacing - Control spacing between menu items. |
#include <menu.h> |
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 system puts in the middle of this spacing area the pad
character. The remaining parts are filled with spaces.
spc_rows controls the number of rows that are used
for an item. It must not be larger than 3. The menu system
inserts then blank lines between item rows, these lines will
contain the pad character in the appropriate positions.
spc_columns 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. |
Both routines return E_OK on success. set_menu_spacing may return E_POSTED if the menu is posted, or E_BAD_ARGUMENT if one of the spacing values is out of range. |
curses(3X), menu(3X). |
The header file <menu.h> automatically includes the header file <curses.h>. |
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. |
