.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The Paned widget manages children in a vertically or horizontally tiled
fashion with each child in a separate pane. The panes may be dynamically
resized by the user using "control sashes" that appear between the panes\&.
.PP
Application programmers have control over whether or not sashes and
separators are displayed, the preferred size of each pane, and which
pane will be forced to absorb size restrictions imposed by the Paned
widget's parent\&.
.SS Geometry Management
The Paned widget usually resizes its children to their preferred sizes
when a new child is managed. It will first attempt to resize itself to
contain its panes exactly. If this is not possible then it will hunt
through the children, from bottom to top (or right to left), 
for a pane to resize.
.PP
The Paned widget will attempt to honor the geometry request of its children.
It will first attempt to resize itself to satisfy the request then go through
the layout rules below to satisfy the request. Only if all panes are at their
min/max values will a geometry request be refused. If the XmNallowResize
resource is False for the child then all geometry requests will be denied,
         of course.
.SS Special Considerations
.PP
When a user resizes a pane with the sashes, the Paned widget assumes that
this new size is the preferred size of both the pane above and the pane
below, unless the XmNresizeToPreferred constraint resource is True for that
pane\&.
.SS Layout Semantics
.PP
In order to make effective use of the Paned widget it is helpful to know the
rules it uses to determine which child will be resized in any given situation.
There are three rules used to determine which child is resized. While these
rules are always the same, the panes that are searched can change depending
upon what caused the change of layout.
.SS Layout Rules
.ta 5
.HP 5
1\&. Do not let a pane grow larger than its max or smaller than its min size\&.
In addition do not let a pane without a sash shrink below its preferred size
due to a grip movement of another pane\&.
.HP 5
2\&. Do not adjust panes with XmNskipAdjust set\&.
.HP 5
3\&. Do not adjust panes away from their preferred size, although moving one
closer to its preferred size is fine\&.
.PP
When searching the children the Paned widget looks for panes that satisfy all
the rules, and if unsuccessful then it eliminates rule 3 and then 2. Rule 1
is always enforced.
.PP
If the relayout is due to a resize or change in management then the panes are
searched from bottom to top. If space is needed above the current sash the
panes are searched from bottom to top beginning with the second pane above
the grip that was moved. If space is needed below the current sash the panes
are searched from top to bottom beginning with the second pane below the grip
that was moved. The Paned widget never wraps its pane resizing. Therefore if
space is needed below the sash then no widget above the sash will ever be
resized.
.PP
Note: If the orientation is horizontal then substitute "right" for "bottom" and 
"left" for "top" in the above paragraph.
.SS Resizing Panes
.PP
When the Paned widget is resized it must determine a new size for each pane.
There are two methods of doing this. The Paned widget can either give each
pane its preferred size and then resize the panes to fit, or it can use the
current sizes and then resize the panes to fit. The XmNresizeToPreferred
constraint resource allows the application to tell the Paned widget whether
to query the child about its preferred size (subject to the
XmNpreferredPaneSize) or to use the current size when refiguring the pane
locations after the Paned widget has been resized\&.
.PP
All panes assume they should resize to their preferred size until the Paned
widget becomes visible to the user\&.

.SS "Classes"
.PP
Paned inherits behavior and resources from the
\fBCore\fP, \fBComposite\fP, \fBConstraint\fP, abd \fBXmmanager\fP classes\&.
.PP
The class pointer of \fBxmPanedWidgetClass\fP\&.
.PP
The class name is \fBXmPaned\fP\&.
.SS "New resources"
The following table defines a set of widget resources used by the programmer
to specify data\&. The programmer can also set the resource values for the
inherited classes to set attributes for this widget\&. To reference a
resource by name or by class in a \fB\&.Xdefaults\fP file, remove the \fBXmN\fP or
\fBXmC\fP prefix and use the remaining letters\&. To specify one of the defined
values for a resource in a \fB\&.Xdefaults\fP file, remove the \fBXm\fP prefix and use
the remaining letters (in either lowercase or uppercase, but include any
underscores between words)\&.
The codes in the access column indicate if the given resource can be
set at creation time (C),
set by using \fBXtSetValues\fP (S),
retrieved by using \fBXtGetValues\fP (G), or is not applicable (N/A)\&.

.IP "\fBXmNcursor\fP" 10
Image that will be displayed as the pointer cursor whenever the pointer
is over this widget. If the children do not explicitly set their cursor
attribute then this resource will be inherited by each child\&.
.IP "\fBXmNmarginHeight\fP" 10
Specifies the distance between the top and bottom edges of the Paned widget
and its children\&.
.IP "\fBXmNmarginWidth\fP" 10
Specifies the distance between the left and right edges of the Paned widget
and its children\&.
.IP "\fBXmNorientation\fP" 10
Specifies the layout as either vertical (with the \fBXmVERTICAL\fP
value) or horizontal (with the \fBXmHORIZONTAL\fP value)\&. In the
vertical layout, the children are laid out in a vertically tiled
format\&. In the horizontal layout, the children are laid out in a
horizontal layout, with the sash moveable along the horizontal axis\&.
.IP "\fBXmNrefigureMode\fP" 10
Determines whether the panes\&' positions are recomputed and repositioned
when programmatic changes are being made to the Paned widget\&.
Setting this resource to True resets the children to their appropriate
positions\&.
.IP "\fBXmNsashHeight\fP" 10
Specifies the height of the sash\&.
.IP "\fBXmNsashIndent\fP" 10
Specifies the horizontal placement of the sash along each pane\&. A positive
value causes the sash to be offset from the near (left) side of the Paned
widget, and a negative value causes the sash to be offset from the far (right)
side of the Paned widget\&. If the offset is greater than the width of the
Paned widget minus the width of the sash, the sash is placed flush
against the near side of the Paned widget\&.
.IP "" 10
Whether the placement actually corresponds to the left or right side of
the Paned widget depends on the \fBXmNlayoutDirection\fP
resource of the widget\&.
.IP "\fBXmNsashTranslations\fP" 10
Translation bindings for the sash. See below.
.IP "\fBXmNsashShadowThickness\fP" 10
Specifies the thickness of the shadows of the sashes\&.
.IP "\fBXmNsashWidth\fP" 10
Specifies the width of the sash\&.
.IP "\fBXmNseparatorOn\fP" 10
Determines whether a separator is created between each of the panes\&.
Setting this resource to True creates a Separator at the
midpoint between each of the panes\&.
.IP "\fBXmNspacing\fP" 10
Specifies the distance between each child pane\&.

.IP "\fBXmNallowResize\fP" 10
Allows an application to specify whether the Paned widget
should allow a pane to request to be resized\&. This flag has an
effect only after the Paned widget and its children have been realized\&.
If this flag is set to True, the Paned widget tries to honor requests
to alter the height of the pane\&. If False, it always denies pane
requests to resize\&.
.IP "\fBXmNpaneMaximum\fP" 10
Allows an application to specify the maximum size to which a pane
may be resized\&. This value must be greater than the specified minimum\&.
.IP "\fBXmNpaneMinimum\fP" 10
Allows an application to specify the minimum size to which a pane
may be resized\&. This value must be greater than 0 (zero)\&.
.IP "\fBXmNskipAdjust\fP" 10
When set to True, this Boolean resource allows an application to specify
that the Paned widget should not automatically resize this pane\&.
.IP "\fBXmNpreferredPaneSize\fP" 10
Preferred size of the pane. If this value is not set the paned widget
will query the child for a preferred size. This resource allows the
user or application to provide a new preferred size\&.
.IP "\fBXmNresizeToPreferred\fP" 10
Specifies whether to resize each pane to its preferred size when the
Paned window is resized. If this is False then only those panes the
user has not resized with the sashes will be resized to their preferred
size\&.
.IP "\fBXmNshowSash\fP" 10
If True show the Sash below or to the right of this pane.
