They extend the +fundamental abstractions provided by the X Window System while still +remaining independent of any particular user interface policy or +style. +.LP +The Intrinsics use object-oriented programming techniques to supply a +consistent architecture for constructing and composing user interface +components, known as widgets. This +allows programmers to extend a widget set in new ways, either by +deriving new widgets from existing ones (subclassing) or by writing +entirely new widgets following the established conventions. +.LP +When the \*(xI were first conceived, the root of the object +hierarchy was a widget class named +Core. +.IN "Core" +In Release 4 of the +\*(xI, three nonwidget superclasses were added above Core. +These superclasses are described in Chapter 12. The name of the class +now at the root of the Intrinsics class hierarchy is +Object. +.IN "Object" +The remainder of this +specification refers uniformly to \fIwidgets\fP and \fICore\fP +as if they were the +base class for all \*(xI operations. The argument descriptions +for each Intrinsics procedure and Chapter 12 describe which operations +are defined for the nonwidget superclasses of Core. The reader may +determine by context whether a specific reference to \fIwidget\fP +actually means ``widget'' or ``object.'' + +.NH 2 +Languages +.XS +\fB\*(SN Languages\fP +.XE +.LP +The Intrinsics are intended to be used for two programming purposes. +Programmers writing widgets will be using most of the facilities +provided by the +Intrinsics to construct user interface components from the simple, such +as buttons and scrollbars, to the complex, such as control panels and +property sheets. Application programmers will use a much smaller subset of +the Intrinsics procedures in combination with one or more sets of widgets to +construct and present complete user interfaces on an X display. The +Intrinsics +programming interfaces primarily +intended for application use are designed to be callable from most +procedural programming languages. Therefore, most arguments are passed by +reference rather than by value. The interfaces primarily +intended for widget programmers are expected to be used principally +from the C language. In these cases, the usual C programming +conventions apply. In this specification, the term \fIclient\fP refers to +any module, widget, or application that calls an Intrinsics procedure. +.LP +Applications that use the \*(xI mechanisms +must include the header files +.Pn < X11/Intrinsic.h > +and +.Pn < X11/StringDefs.h >, +or their equivalent, +and they may also include +.Pn < X11/Xatoms.h > +and +.Pn < X11/Shell.h >. +In addition, widget implementations should include +.Pn < X11/IntrinsicP.h > +instead of +.Pn < X11/Intrinsic.h >. +.LP +The applications must also include the additional header files for +each widget class that they are to use (for example, +.Pn < X11/Xaw/Label.h > +or +.Pn < X11/Xaw/Scrollbar.h >). +On a POSIX-based system, +the \*(xI object library file is named +.PN libXt.a +and is usually referenced as \-lXt when linking the application. + +.NH 2 +Procedures and Macros +.LP +.XS +\fB\*(SN Procedures and Macros\fP +.XE +All functions defined in this specification except those specified below +may be implemented as C macros with arguments. C applications may use +``#undef'' to remove a macro definition and ensure that the actual function +is referenced. Any such macro will expand to a single expression that +has the same precedence as a function call and that evaluates each +of its arguments exactly once, fully protected by parentheses, so that +arbitrary expressions may be used as arguments. +.LP +The following symbols are macros that do not have function +equivalents and that may expand their arguments in a manner other +than that described above: +.PN XtCheckSubclass , +.PN XtNew , +.PN XtNumber , +.PN XtOffsetOf , +.PN XtOffset , +and +.PN XtSetArg . + +.NH 2 +Widgets +.LP +.XS +\fB\*(SN Widgets\fP +.XE +.LP +The fundamental abstraction and data type of the \*(tk is the widget, +which is a combination of an X window and its associated +input and display semantics +and which is dynamically allocated and contains state information. +Some widgets display information (for example, text or graphics), +and others are merely containers for other widgets (for example, a menu box). +Some widgets are output-only and do not react to pointer or keyboard input, +and others change their display in response to input +and can invoke functions that an application has attached to them. +.LP +Every widget belongs to exactly one widget class, which is statically +allocated and initialized and which contains the operations allowable on +widgets of that class. +Logically, a widget class is the procedures and data associated +with all widgets belonging to that class. +These procedures and data can be inherited by +subclasses. +Physically, a widget class is a pointer to a structure. +The contents of this structure are constant for all widgets of the widget +class but will vary from class to class. +(Here, ``constant'' means the class structure is initialized at compile time +and never changed, except for a one-time class initialization +and in-place compilation of resource lists, +which takes place when the first widget of the class or subclass is created.) +For further information, +see Section 2.5. +.LP +The distribution of the declarations and code for a new widget class +among a public .h file for application programmer use, a private .h file +for widget programmer use, +and the implementation .c file is described in Section 1.6. +The predefined widget classes adhere to these conventions. +.LP +A widget instance is composed of two parts: +.IP \(bu 5 +A data structure which contains instance-specific values. +.IP \(bu 5 +A class structure which contains information that is applicable to +all widgets of that class. +.LP +Much of the input/output of a widget (for example, fonts, colors, sizes, +or border widths) is customizable by users. +.LP +This chapter discusses the base widget classes, +Core, Composite, and Constraint, and +ends with a discussion of widget classing. + +.NH 3 +Core Widgets +.XS +\*(SN Core Widgets +.XE +.LP +.IN "Core" "" "@DEF@" +The +Core +widget class contains the definitions of fields common to all widgets. +All widgets classes are subclasses of the +Core class, +which is defined by the +.PN CoreClassPart +and +.PN CorePart +structures. + +.NH 4 +CoreClassPart Structure +.XS +\*(SN CoreClassPart Structure +.XE +.LP +All widget classes contain the fields defined in the +.PN CoreClassPart +structure. +.LP +.IN "CoreClassPart" "" "@DEF@" +.sM +.Ds 0 +.TA .5i 3.5i +.ta .5i 3.5i +typedef struct { + WidgetClass superclass;
