DataStructure:
xform_type [in src/Xodus/widg/xform_struct.h
Size:
124 bytes
Fields:
fg
Foreground color (not used)
bg
Background color (not used)
xgeom Position of left edge of form with respect to screen.
This value is an integer. If it is suffixed with a
'%' symbol (eg set form xgeom 20%) then percent of
screen size is used.
ygeom Position of upper edge of form with respect to screen.
wgeom Width of form
hgeom Height of form
The geometry fields can optionally be set on the
create line using the square brackets notation:
[xgeom,ygeom,wgeom,hgeom]
title Optional text string to be placed on top of widget.
Currently only available at create time.
nested Read-only flag that indicates if the form was created
as an embedded form or not.
(1 => embedded, 0 => top-level)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------SIMULATION PARAMETERS
Function:
XForm [in src/Xodus/widg/xform.c]
Classes:
widget
Actions:
XUPDATE: update internal fields when
displayed widget is changed.
Messages:
none.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------Notes:
Invisible until 'xshow' command is issued unless it is
created as an embedded form with the '-nested' option.
One could also create an embedded form and
make it invisible by default using the '-noautomap' option
in conjunction with the '-nested' option. For obvious
reasons, the '-noautomap' option is superfluous when used
with top-level forms.
The xform does not perform any computational operations.
Important: xforms are top-level unless created with the
-nested option.
Example
create xform /foo [0,0,500,50%] -title "I am a top-level
form"
xshow /foo
create xform /foo/embedded_foo [0,0,100%,40%] -nested -title
\
"I am an embedded form"
create xform /foo/popup_foo [20,20:embedded_foo,,] -nested
-noautomap -title "xshow/xhide to map/unmap me"
