gstream-set_tab (3) Linux Manual Page
NAME
set_tab
SYNOPSIS
#include <gstream.h>
void set_tab(int x, int color, FONT fnt);
DESCRIPTION
This is the basic function – it creates a tab stop at the specified x-coordinate with the specified colour and the specified font. But the function is overloaded so it is possible only to set a tab stop without changing the font or the font colour, or just changing the colour or just changing the font: set_tab(int x), set_tab(int x, int color) and set_tab(int x, FONT fnt) respectively.
A few examples are granted:
set_tab(130);
// set a tab stop at the x-position 130, don't change colour or font
set_tab(400);
// set a tab stop at 400, don't change colour or font
set_tab(80, 24);
// set a stop at 80 and let it change the colour to 24, no font change
set_tab(190, 57, my_arial_font);
// set tab stop at 190, change colour to 57 and font to 'my_arial_font'
set_tab(250, courier);
// set tab stop at 250, don't change colour, but change font to 'courier'
The first version of gstream didn’t have these overloaded functions, but used a more clumsy syntax (involving a constant) which is now deprecated.
