67 The function <STRONG>set_menu_spacing</STRONG> sets the spacing information
68 for the menu. Its parameter <STRONG>spc_description</STRONG> controls the
69 number of spaces between an item name and an item descrip-
70 tion. It must not be larger than <STRONG>TABSIZE</STRONG>. The menu sys-
71 tem puts in the middle of this spacing area the pad char-
72 acter. The remaining parts are filled with spaces. The
73 <STRONG>spc_rows</STRONG> parameter controls the number of rows that are
74 used for an item. It must not be larger than 3. The menu
75 system inserts the blank lines between item rows, these
76 lines will contain the pad character in the appropriate
77 positions. The <STRONG>spc_columns</STRONG> parameter controls the number
78 of blanks between columns of items. It must not be larger
79 than TABSIZE. A value of 0 for all the spacing values
80 resets them to the default, which is 1 for all of them.
81 The function <STRONG>menu_spacing</STRONG> passes back the spacing info for

102 These routines are specific to ncurses. They were not
103 supported on Version 7, BSD or System V implementations.
104 It is recommended that any code depending on them be con-
105 ditioned using NCURSES_VERSION.
