menu_spacing - Control spacing between menu items.
#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);
The function set_menu_spacing sets the spacing informations
for the menu. spc_description controls the number of spaces
between an item name and an item description. It must not be
larger than TABSIZE. The menu system puts in the middle of
this spacing area the pad character. The remaining 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 appropriate
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 resets them to the
default, which is 1 for all of them.
The function menu_spacing passes back the spacing info for
the menu. If a pointer is NULL, this specific info is simply
not returned.
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.
curses(3), menu(3).
The header file <menu.h> automatically includes the header
file <curses.h>.
These routines are specific to ncurses. They were not sup-
ported on Version 7, BSD or System V implementations. It is
recommended that any code depending on them be conditioned
using NCURSES_VERSION.
