NAME
     XmDragIcon -- The DragIcon widget class

SYNOPSIS
     #include <Xm/DragDrop.h>

DESCRIPTION
     A	DragIcon  is a component of the visual used to represent the source data
     in a drag and drop transaction. During a drag operation, a  real  or  simu-
     lated  X  cursor  provides drag-over visuals consisting of a static portion
     that represents the object being dragged, and dynamic cues that provide vi-
     sual feedback during the drag operation. The visual is attained by blending
     together various XmDragIcons specified in the XmDragContext associated with
     the drag operation.

     The static portion of the drag-over visual is  the  graphic  representation
     that  identifies  the  drag  source. For example, when a user drags several
     items within a list, a DragIcon depicting a list might be supplied  as  the
     visual.   The  XmDragContext  resources,  XmNsourceCursorIcon  or	XmNsour-
     cePixmapIcon, specify a DragIcon to use for the static portion of	the  vi-
     sual.

     A	drag-over  visual  incorporates  dynamic cues in order to provide visual
     feedback in response to the user's actions. For instance, the drag-over vi-
     sual might use different indicators  to  identify	the  type  of  operation
     (copy,  link,  or	move) being performed. Dynamic cues could also alert the
     user that a drop site is valid or invalid as the pointer traverses the drop
     site. The XmNoperationCursorIcon and XmNstateCursorIcon  resources  of  Xm-
     DragContext specify DragIcons for dynamic cues.

     A	drag-over  visual  typically  consists	of a source, operation and state
     DragIcon. The XmNblendModel resource of XmDragContext  offers  several  op-
     tions  that  determine which icons are blended to produce the drag-over vi-
     sual. DragIcon resources control the relative position of the operation and
     state icons (if used).  If a particular  DragIcon	is  not  specified,  the
     toolkit uses the XmScreen default DragIcons.

     An application initializes a DragIcon with the function XmCreateDragIcon or
     through  entries  in  the	resource database. If a pixmap and its mask (op-
     tional) are specified in the resource database, the  toolkit  converts  the
     values  in the X11 Bitmap file format and assigns values to the correspond-
     ing resources.

   Classes
     DragIcon inherits behavior and a resource from Object.

     The class pointer is xmDragIconObjectClass.

     The class name is XmDragIcon.

   New Resources
     The following table defines a set of widget resources used by the	program-
     mer  to  specify  data. The programmer can also set the resource values for
     the inherited classes to set attributes for this widget. To reference a re-
     source by name or by class in a .Xdefaults file, remove the XmN or XmC pre-
     fix 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  be-
     tween 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).

     XmNattachment
	       Specifies  a relative location on the source icon for the attach-
	       ment of the state or operation icon. The origin of the state  and
	       operation  icons  is  aligned with the specified compass point on
	       the source icon.  The XmNoffsetX and XmNoffsetY resources can  be
	       used  to  further  refine the icon positions. The possible values
	       are

	       XmATTACH_NORTH_WEST
			 Attaches the origin of the state or operation	icon  to
			 the northwest point on the source icon.

	       XmATTACH_NORTH
			 Attaches  the	origin of the state or operation icon to
			 the north point on the source icon.

	       XmATTACH_NORTH_EAST
			 Attaches the origin of the state or operation	icon  to
			 the northeast point on the source icon.

	       XmATTACH_EAST
			 Attaches  the	origin of the state or operation icon to
			 the east point on the source icon.

	       XmATTACH_SOUTH_EAST
			 Attaches the origin of the state or operation	icon  to
			 the southeast point on the source icon.

	       XmATTACH_SOUTH
			 Attaches  the	origin of the state or operation icon to
			 the south point on the source icon.

	       XmATTACH_SOUTH_WEST
			 Attaches the origin of the state or operation	icon  to
			 the southwest point on the source icon.

	       XmATTACH_WEST
			 Attaches  the	origin of the state or operation icon to
			 the west point on the source icon.

	       XmATTACH_CENTER
			 Attaches the origin of the state or operation	icon  to
			 the  center  of the source icon. The XmNoffsetX and Xm-
			 NoffsetY resources may be used to center  the	attached
			 icon.

	       XmATTACH_HOT
			 Attaches  the	hotspot coordinates of a state or opera-
			 tion DragIcon to an x,y position on  the  source  icon.
			 The  x,y  coordinate  is taken from the event passed to
			 the XmDragStart function, and made relative to the wid-
			 get passed as an argument to the same function.

     XmNdepth  Specifies the depth of the pixmap.

     XmNheight Specifies the height of the pixmap.

     XmNhotX   Specifies the x-coordinate of the hotspot of a cursor DragIcon in
	       relation to the origin of the pixmap bounding box.

     XmNhotY   Specifies the y-coordinate of the hotspot of a cursor DragIcon in
	       relation to the origin of the pixmap bounding box.

     XmNmask   Specifies a pixmap of depth 1 to use as the DragIcon mask pixmap.

     XmNoffsetXSpecifies a horizontal offset (in pixels) of the  origin  of  the
	       state  or  operation icon relative to the attachment point on the
	       source icon.  A positive offset value moves  the  origin  to  the
	       right; a negative value moves the origin to the left.

     XmNoffsetYSpecifies  a  vertical  offset  (in  pixels) of the origin of the
	       state or operation icon relative to the attachment point  on  the
	       source  icon.  A  positive  offset value moves the origin down; a
	       negative value moves the origin up.

     XmNpixmap Specifies a pixmap to use as the DragIcon pixmap.

     XmNwidth  Specifies the width of the pixmap.

   Inherited Resources
     DragIcon inherits behavior and a resource from Object.  For a complete  de-
     scription of this resource, refer to the Object reference page.
