.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBXmTabCreate\fP creates a tab stop at a position defined by the
\fIvalue\fP and \fIunits\fP arguments\&.
.IP "\fIvalue\fP" 10
Specifies the floating point value to be used in conjunction
with \fIunits\fP to calculate the location of the tab stop\&.
Note that negative values are not permitted\&.
.IP "\fIunits\fP" 10
Specifies the unit type (for example, \fBXmMILLIMETERS\fP)
to be used in conjunction with \fIvalue\fP
to calculate the location of the tab stop\&. You can specify
any unit described by the \fBXmConvertUnits\fP reference page\&.
For resources of type, dimension, or position, you can specify units
as described in the \fBXmNunitType\fP resource of the
\fBXmGadget\fP, \fBXmManager\fP, or \fBXmPrimitive\fP reference page\&.
.IP "\fIoffset_model\fP" 10
Specifies whether the tab value represents an absolute position or a
relative offset from the previous tab\&. Valid values are
\fBXmABSOLUTE\fP and \fBXmRELATIVE\fP\&.
.IP "\fIalignment\fP" 10
Specifies how the text should be aligned relative to this tab stop\&.
Valid values are \fBXmALIGNMENT_BEGINNING\fP\&.
.IP "\fIdecimal\fP" 10
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\&.
.SH "RETURN"
.PP
Returns a newly allocated \fBXmTab\fR\&.
The application is responsible for managing this allocated space\&.
The application can recover this allocated space by calling \fBXmTabFree\fP\&.
.SH "RELATED"
.PP
\fBXmTab\fP(3) and
\fBXmTabFree\fP(3)\&.
