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.
