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.
Classes
Separator inherits behavior and resources from Core and XmPrimitive
Classes.
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 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).
XmSeparator Resource Set
Name Class Type Default Access
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
XmNmargin XmCMargin Dimension 0 CSG
XmNorientation XmCOrientation unsigned char XmHORIZONTAL CSG
XmNseparatorType XmCSeparatorType unsigned char XmSHADOW_ETCHED_IN CSG
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 following
superclasses. For a complete description of each resource, refer to
