CHAPTER 5 - STANDARD LAYOUT PARAMETERS
5.1 INTRODUCTION
A few parameters recommended for general use in the layout of view-objects are defined in the xdl_view.h header file. These are as follows:- BORDER_WIDTH
- Minimum left/right border width for
normal use. This is for the border
between the top level window (frame
or base frame) of a view object and
windows (e.g. paint windows) laid out
within it. It is also used as an offset
for the left hand side of an active
strip.
- BORDER_HEIGHT
- Minimum top/bottom border height for
normal use. This is for the border
between the top level window (frame
or base frame) of a view object and
windows (e.g. paint windows) laid out
within it. It is also used as an offset
for the top of an active strip.
- ACT_STRIP_HEIGHT
- This is the total height required from the top of a window containing an active strip to the bottom of the strip. The next window below the active strip should normally start at a y value of BORDER_HEIGHT + ACT_STRIP_HEIGHT.
