NAME

XmDrawingArea - The DrawingArea widget class

SYNOPSIS

#include <Xm/DrawingA.h>

DESCRIPTION

DrawingArea is an empty widget that is easily adaptable to a variety of purposes. It does no drawing and defines no behavior except for invoking callbacks. Callbacks notify the application when graphics need to be drawn (exposure events or widget resize) and when the widget receives input from the keyboard or mouse. Applications are responsible for defining appearance and behavior as needed in response to DrawingArea callbacks. DrawingArea is also a composite widget and subclass of XmManager that supports minimal geometry management for multiple widget or gadget children. Classes DrawingArea inherits behavior and resources from the Core, Composite, Constraint, and XmManager classes. The class pointer is xmDrawingAreaWidgetClass. The class name is XmDrawingArea. 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 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). XmDrawingArea Resource Set XmNexposeCallback Class: XmCCallback Default: NULL Type: XtCallbackList Access: C XmNinputCallback Class: XmCCallback Default: NULL Type: XtCallbackList Access: C XmNmarginHeight Class: XmCMarginHeight Default: 10 Type: Dimension Access: CSG XmNmarginWidth Class: XmCMarginWidth Default: 10 Type: Dimension Access: CSG XmNresizeCallback Class: XmCCallback Default: NULL Type: XtCallbackList Access: C XmNresizePolicy Class: XmCResizePolicy Default: XmRESIZE_ANY Type: unsigned char Access: CSG XmNexposeCallback Specifies the list of callbacks that is called when DrawingArea receives an exposure event. The callback reason is XmCR_EXPOSE. The callback structure also includes the exposure event. The default bit gravity for Manager windows is NorthWestGravity. This may cause the XmNexposeCallback procedures not to be invoked when the DrawingArea window is made smaller. XmNinputCallback Specifies the list of callbacks that is called when the DrawingArea receives a keyboard or mouse event (key or button, up or down). The callback reason is XmCR_INPUT. The callback structure also includes the input event. XmNmarginHeight Specifies the minimum spacing in pixels between the top or bottom edge of DrawingArea and any child widget. XmNmarginWidth Specifies the minimum spacing in pixels between the left or right edge of DrawingArea and any child widget. XmNresizeCallback Specifies the list of callbacks that is called when the DrawingArea is resized. The callback reason is XmCR_RESIZE. XmNresizePolicy Controls the policy for resizing DrawingArea widgets. Possible values include XmRESIZE_NONE (fixed size), XmRESIZE_ANY (shrink or grow as needed), and XmRESIZE_GROW (grow only). Inherited Resources DrawingArea inherits behavior and resources from the following superclasses. For a complete description of each resource, refer to the man page for that superclass. XmManager Resource Set XmNbottomShadowColor Class: XmCBottomShadowColor Default: dynamic Type: Pixel Access: CSG XmNbottomShadowPixmap Class: XmCBottomShadowPixmap Default: XmUNSPECIFIED_PIXMAP Type: Pixmap Access: CSG XmNforeground Class: XmCForeground Default: dynamic Type: Pixel Access: CSG XmNhelpCallback Class: XmCCallback Default: NULL Type: XtCallbackList Access: C XmNhighlightColor Class: XmCHighlightColor Default: dynamic Type: Pixel Access: CSG XmNhighlightPixmap Class: XmCHighlightPixmap Default: dynamic Type: Pixmap Access: CSG XmNinitialFocus Class: XmCInitialFocus Default: NULL Type: Widget Access: CSG XmNnavigationType Class: XmCNavigationType Default: XmTAB_GROUP Type: XmNavigationType Access: CSG XmNshadowThickness Class: XmCShadowThickness Default: 0 Type: Dimension Access: CSG XmNstringDirection Class: XmCStringDirection Default: dynamic Type: XmStringDirection Access: CG XmNtopShadowColor Class: XmCTopShadowColor Default: dynamic Type: Pixel Access: CSG XmNtopShadowPixmap Class: XmCTopShadowPixmap Default: dynamic Type: Pixmap Access: CSG XmNtraversalOn Class: XmCTraversalOn Default: True Type: Boolean Access: CSG XmNunitType Class: XmCUnitType Default: dynamic Type: unsigned char Access: CSG XmNuserData Class: XmCUserData Default: NULL Type: XtPointer Access: CSG Composite Resource Set XmNchildren Class: XmCReadOnly Default: NULL Type: WidgetList Access: G XmNinsertPosition Class: XmCInsertPosition Default: NULL Type: XtOrderProc Access: CSG XmNnumChildren Class: XmCReadOnly Default: 0 Type: Cardinal Access: G Core Resource Set XmNaccelerators Class: XmCAccelerators Default: dynamic Type: XtAccelerators Access: CSG XmNancestorSensitive Class: XmCSensitive Default: dynamic Type: Boolean Access: G XmNbackground Class: XmCBackground Default: dynamic Type: Pixel Access: CSG XmNbackgroundPixmap Class: XmCPixmap Default: XmUNSPECIFIED_PIXMAP Type: Pixmap Access: CSG XmNborderColor Class: XmCBorderColor Default: XtDefaultForeground Type: Pixel Access: CSG XmNborderPixmap Class: XmCPixmap Default: XmUNSPECIFIED_PIXMAP Type: Pixmap Access: CSG XmNborderWidth Class: XmCBorderWidth Default: 0 Type: Dimension Access: CSG XmNcolormap Class: XmCColormap Default: dynamic Type: Colormap Access: CG XmNdepth Class: XmCDepth Default: dynamic Type: int Access: CG XmNdestroyCallback Class: XmCCallback Default: NULL Type: XtCallbackList Access: C XmNheight Class: XmCHeight Default: dynamic Type: Dimension Access: CSG XmNinitialResourcesPersistent Class: XmCInitialResourcesPersistent Default: True Type: Boolean Access: C XmNmappedWhenManaged Class: XmCMappedWhenManaged Default: True Type: Boolean Access: CSG XmNscreen Class: XmCScreen Default: dynamic Type: Screen * Access: CG XmNsensitive Class: XmCSensitive Default: True Type: Boolean Access: CSG XmNtranslations Class: XmCTranslations Default: dynamic Type: XtTranslations Access: CSG XmNwidth Class: XmCWidth Default: dynamic Type: Dimension Access: CSG XmNx Class: XmCPosition Default: 0 Type: Position Access: CSG XmNy Class: XmCPosition Default: 0 Type: Position Access: CSG Callback Information A pointer to the following structure is passed to each callback: typedef struct { int reason; XEvent * event; Window window; } XmDrawingAreaCallbackStruct; reason Indicates why the callback was invoked event Points to the XEvent that triggered the callback. This is NULL for the XmNresizeCallback. window Is set to the widget window Translations XmDrawingArea inherits translations from XmManager. Before calling the XmManager actions, all events in the inherited translations except <BtnMotion>, <EnterWindow>, <LeaveWindow>, <FocusIn>, and <FocusOut> also call the DrawingAreaInput() action. XmDrawingArea has the additional translations listed below. These translations may not directly correspond to a translation table. MAny BAny Press:DrawingAreaInput() MAny BAny Release:DrawingAreaInput() MAny KAny Press:DrawingAreaInput() ManagerGadgetKeyInput() MAny KAny Release:DrawingAreaInput() Action Routines The XmDrawingArea action routines are described below: DrawingAreaInput(): Unless the event takes place in a gadget, calls the callbacks for XmNinputCallback. ManagerGadgetKeyInput(): Causes the current gadget to process a keyboard event. Additional Behavior The XmDrawingArea widget has the additional behavior described below: <Expose>: Calls the callbacks for XmNexposeCallback. <Widget Resize>: Calls the callbacks for XmNresizeCallback. Virtual Bindings The bindings for virtual keys are vendor specific. For information about bindings for virtual buttons and keys, see VirtualBindings(3X).
