     XmTabSetValue(3X)         UNIX System V         XmTabSetValue(3X)



     NAME
          XmTabSetValue - A convenience function that sets a tab stop

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

     VERSION
          This page documents Motif 2.1.

     DESCRIPTION
          XmTabSetValue sets the value field of the XmTabstructure
          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 tabwill 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.
