NAME

RubberTile − a composite widget allowing sophisticated management of other widgets in its boundaries

SYNOPSIS

#include <X11/Intrinsic.h>
#include <X11/StringDefs.h>
#include <Xol/OpenLook.h>
#include <Xol/RubberTile.h>
 . . .
Widget my_rubbertile, my_parent;
String my_name;
ArgList args;
Cardinal num_args;

my_rubbertile =  XtCreate( my_name, rubberTileWidgetClass,

my_parent, args, num_args);

DESCRIPTION

The RubberTile differs from other composite widgets in that, when it is resized, it resizes its children according to a weight assigned to each child.  If there are three children with weights of 1, 2, and 3, they resize to get 1/6th, 1/3rd, and 1/2 of the available space respectively. 

RubberTiles do not enforce any weighting on their children whin the widget is created, only when resized.  Also note that an individual RubberTile only supports a single dimensional array, vertical or horizontal.  However, an application can produce a two dimensional effect with a matrix of RubberTile widgets.  For example, to create the effect of a 2 × 4 matrix, you could have two top level RubberTiles managing four RubberTiles each.

Child Constraints

Each child widget attached to the RubberTile composite widget is constrained by the resources detailed in the following table.  In essence, these resources become resources for each child widget and can be set and read just like any other resources defined for the child.
