menu_spacing(3X) Library calls menu_spacing(3X) NAME set_menu_spacing, menu_spacing - set and get spacing between menu items. SYNOPSIS #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); DESCRIPTION The function set_menu_spacing sets the spacing information for the menu. Its parameters provide the description and the size (in rows and columns). spc_description controls the number of spaces between an item name and an item de- scription. It must not be larger than TABSIZE. The menu system puts in the middle of this spacing area the pad character. The re- maining parts are filled with spaces. spc_rows 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 appro- priate positions. spc_columns 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 re- sets them to the default, which is 1 for all of them. The function menu_spacing returns the spacing information for the menu. If a pointer is NULL, the corresponding information is simply not returned. RETURN VALUE 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. PORTABILITY These routines are specific to ncurses. They were not supported on Version 7, BSD or System V implementations. It is recommended that any code de- pending on them be conditioned using NCURSES_VERSION. AUTHORS Juergen Pfeifer. Manual pages and adaptation for new curses by Eric S. Raymond.
