#include <Xm/Xm​.h>
XmTab XmTabCreate(
float value,
unsigned char units,
XmOffsetModel offset_model,
unsigned char alignment,
char *decimal);

XmTabCreate creates a tab stop at a position defined by the value and units arguments​.

value

Specifies the floating point value to be used in conjunction with units to calculate the location of the tab stop​. Note that negative values are not permitted​.

units

Specifies the unit type (for example, XmMILLIMETERS) to be used in conjunction with value to calculate the location of the tab stop​. You can specify any unit described by the XmConvertUnits reference page​. For resources of type, dimension, or position, you can specify units as described in the XmNunitType resource of the XmGadget, XmManager, or XmPrimitive reference page​.

offset_model

Specifies whether the tab value represents an absolute position or a relative offset from the previous tab​. Valid values are XmABSOLUTE and XmRELATIVE​.

alignment

Specifies how the text should be aligned relative to this tab stop​. Valid values are XmALIGNMENT_BEGINNING​.

decimal

Specifies the multibyte character in the current language environment to be used as the decimal point for a decimal aligned tab stop​. This is currently unused​.

Returns a newly allocated XmTab​. The application is responsible for managing this allocated space​. The application can recover this allocated space by calling XmTabFree​.
