DESCRIPTION
       The  Cdk	 scale	widget	creates	 a  scale box with a label and a scale
       field.  The following functions create or manipulate the	Cdk scale  box
       widget.

AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS
       activateCDKUScale
	    activates  the  scale  widget  and lets the	user interact with the
	    widget.

	    	The parameter scale is a pointer to a non-NULL scale widget.

	    	If the actions parameter is passed with	a non-NULL value,  the
		characters in the array	will be	injected into the widget.

		To  activate  the  widget interactively	pass in	a NULL pointer
		for actions.

		If the character entered into this widget  is  RETURN  or  TAB
		then  this  function will return a value from the low value to
		the high value.	 It will also set the widget data exitType  to
		vNORMAL.

		If  the	character entered into this widget was ESCAPE then the
		widget	will  return  the  unknownUnsigned  value   (see   the
		cdk_objs.h header file).

	    The	widget data exitType will be set to vESCAPE_HIT.

       destroyCDKUScale
	    removes  the  widget  from	the screen and frees memory the	object
	    used.

       drawCDKUScale
	    draws the scale widget on the screen.

	    If the box parameter is true, the widget is	drawn with a box.

       eraseCDKUScale
	    removes the	widget from the	screen.	 This  does  NOT  destroy  the
	    widget.

       getCDKUScaleBox
	    returns whether the	widget will be drawn with a box	around it.

       getCDKUScaleHighValue
	    returns the	high value of the scale	widget.

       getCDKUScaleLowValue
	    returns the	low value of the scale widget.

       getCDKUScaleValue
	    returns the	current	value of the widget.

       injectCDKUScale
	    injects a single character into the	widget.

	    	The parameter scale is a pointer to a non-NULL scale widget.

	    	The  parameter	character  is the character to inject into the
		widget.

	    The	return value and side-effect (setting the  widget  data	 exit-
	    Type) depend upon the injected character:

	    RETURN or TAB
		   the	function  returns a value ranging from the scale's low
		   value to the	scale's	high value.  The widget	data  exitType
		   is set to vNORMAL.

	    ESCAPE the	function  returns  the	unknownUnsigned	value (see the
		   cdk_objs.h header file).  The widget	data exitType  is  set
		   to vESCAPE_HIT.

	    Otherwise
		   unless  modified  by	 preprocessing,	 postprocessing	or key
		   bindings, the function returns  the	unknownUnsigned	 value
		   (see	the cdk_objs.h header file).  The widget data exitType
		   is set to vEARLY_EXIT.

       moveCDKUScale
	    moves the given widget to the given	position.

	    	The  parameters	xpos and ypos are the new position of the wid-
		get.

		The parameter xpos may be an integer or	one of the pre-defined
		values TOP, BOTTOM, and	CENTER.

		The parameter ypos may be an integer or	one of the pre-defined
		values LEFT, RIGHT, and	CENTER.

	    	The parameter relative states whether the xpos/ypos pair is  a
		relative move or an absolute move.

		For  example,  if  xpos	 = 1 and ypos =	2 and relative = TRUE,
		then the widget	would move one row down	and two	columns	right.
		If the value of	relative was FALSE, then the widget would move
		to the position	(1,2).

		Do not use the values TOP, BOTTOM, LEFT, RIGHT,	or CENTER when
		relative = TRUE.  (weird things	may happen).  The final	 para-
		meter refresh is a boolean value which states whether the wid-
		get will get refreshed after the move.

       newCDKUScale
	    creates a pointer to a scale widget.  Parameters:

	    screen
		 is the	screen you wish	this widget to be placed in.

	    xpos controls  the	placement  of  the object along	the horizontal
		 axis.	It may be an integer or	one of the pre-defined	values
		 LEFT, RIGHT, and CENTER.

	    ypos controls the placement	of the object along the	vertical axis.
		 It  may  be  an integer or one	of the pre-defined values TOP,
		 BOTTOM, and CENTER.

	    title
		 is the	string to display at the top of	the widget.  The title
		 can be	more than one line; just  provide  a  carriage	return
		 character at the line break.

	    label
		 is the	string to display in the label of the scale field.

	    fieldAttribute
		 is the	attribute of the characters displayed in the field.

	    fieldWidth
		 controls  the width of	the widget.  If	you provide a value of
		 zero the widget will be created with the full	width  of  the
		 screen.   If you provide a negative value, the	widget will be
		 created the full width	minus the value	provided.

	    currentValue
		 is the	value of the scale field when the widget is activated.

	    lowValue and

	    highValue
		 are the low and high values of	the widget respectively.

	    increment
		 is the	regular	increment value

	    fastIncrement
		 is the	accelerated increment value.

	    box	 is true if the	widget should be drawn with a box around it.

	    shadow
		 turns the shadow on or	off around this	widget.

	    If the widget could	not be created then  a	NULL  pointer  is  re-
	    turned.

       positionCDKUScale
	    allows  the	user to	move the widget	around the screen via the cur-
	    sor/keypad keys.  See cdk_position (3) for key bindings.

       setCDKUScale
	    lets the programmer	modify certain elements	of an  existing	 scale
	    widget.

	    The	 parameter names correspond to the same	parameter names	listed
	    in the newCDKUScale	function.

       setCDKUScaleBackgroundAttrib
	    sets the background	attribute of the widget.

	    The	parameter attribute is a curses	attribute, e.g., A_BOLD.

       setCDKUScaleBackgroundColor
	    sets the background	color of the widget.

	    The	parameter color	is in the format of the	Cdk format strings.

	    See	cdk_display (3).

       setCDKUScaleBox
	    sets whether the widget will be drawn with a box around it.

       setCDKUScaleBoxAttribute
	    sets the attribute of the box.

       setCDKUScaleHorizontalChar
	    sets the horizontal	drawing	character for the  box	to  the	 given
	    character.

       setCDKUScaleLLChar
	    sets  the  lower left hand corner of the widget's box to the given
	    character.

       setCDKUScaleLRChar
	    sets the lower right hand corner of	the widget's box to the	 given
	    character.

       setCDKUScaleLowHigh
	    sets the low and high values of the	widget.

       setCDKUScalePostProcess
	    allows  the	 user to have the widget call a	function after the key
	    has	been applied to	the widget.

	    	The parameter function is the callback function.

	    	The parameter data points to data passed to the	callback func-
		tion.

	    To learn more about	post-processing	see cdk_process(3).

       setCDKUScalePreProcess
	    allows the user to have the	widget call a function after a key  is
	    hit	and before the key is applied to the widget.

	    	The parameter function is the callback function.

	    	The parameter data points to data passed to the	callback func-
		tion.

	    To learn more about	pre-processing see cdk_process(3).

       setCDKUScaleULChar
	    sets  the  upper left hand corner of the widget's box to the given
	    character.

       setCDKUScaleURChar
	    sets the upper right hand corner of	the widget's box to the	 given
	    character.

       setCDKUScaleValue
	    sets the current value of the widget.

       setCDKUScaleVerticalChar
	    sets the vertical drawing character	for the	box to the given char-
	    acter.

KEY BINDINGS
       When  the  widget  is  activated	there are several default key bindings
       which will help the user	enter or manipulate the	 information  quickly.
       The  following  table outlines the keys and their actions for this wid-
       get.
