menu_spacing(3X) menu_spacing(3X)
set_menu_spacing, menu_spacing - set and get spacing between menu
items.
#include <menu.h>
int set_menu_spacing(MENU *menu,
int spc_description,
int spc_rows,
int spc_columns);
int menu_spacing(const MENU *menu,
int* spc_description,
int* spc_rows,
int* spc_columns);
The function set_menu_spacing sets the spacing information for
the menu. Its parameter 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. The spc_rows parameter controls the number
of rows that are used for an item. It must not be larger than 3.
The menu system inserts the blank lines between item rows, these
lines will contain the pad character in the appropriate
positions. The spc_columns parameter 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 for the
menu. If a pointer is NULL, this specific info is simply not
returned.
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), curs_variables(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.
