NAME
     XmTabList -- Data type for a tab list

SYNOPSIS
     #include <Xm/Xm.h>
     XmTabList

DESCRIPTION
     XmTabList	is the data type for a tab list. A tab list consists of tab stop
     list entries (XmTabs). Whenever a tab component is encountered while an Xm-
     String is being rendered, the origin of the next X draw depends on the next
     XmTab. If a tab stop would cause text to overlap, the x  position	for  the
     segment  is  reset to follow immediately after the end of the previous seg-
     ment.

     Tab lists are specified in resource files with the following syntax:

     resource_spec: tab WHITESPACE [, WHITESPACE tab ]*

     The resource value string consists of one or more tabs separated by commas.
     Each tab identifies the value of the tab, the unit type,  and  whether  the
     offset is relative or absolute. For example:

     tab := float [ WHITESPACE units ]
     float := [ sign ] [[ DIGIT]*. ]DIGIT+
     sign := +

     where  the  presence or absence of sign indicates, respectively, a relative
     offset or an absolute offset. Note that negative tab  values  are	not  al-
     lowed.  units indicates the unitType to use as described in the XmConvertU-
     nits reference page.

     For example, the following specifies a tab list consisting of  a  one  inch
     absolute tab followed by a one inch relative tab:

     *tabList: 1in, +1in

     For resources of type, dimension, or position, you can specify units as de-
     scribed in the XmNunitType resource of the XmGadget, XmManager, or XmPrimi-
     tive reference page.
