Chapter 15: Widget Routines

DISLIN offers some routines for creating graphical user interfaces in Fortran and C programs. The routines are called widget routines and use the Motif widget libraries.

There are sets of routines in DISLIN for creating single widgets, for setting parameters, for requesting current widget values selected by the user and for creating dialogs.

Routines for creating single widgets begin with the characters 'WG', parameter setting routines with the characters 'SWG', requesting routines with the characters 'GWG' and dialog routines with the characters 'DWG'.

Normally, creating widget and parameter setting routines should be used between the routines WGINI and WGFIN while requesting routines can be called after WGFIN. Dialog routines can be used independently from the routines WGINI and WGFIN.

15.1 Widget Routines

W G I N I

The routine WGINI initializes the widget routines and creates a main widget.

The call is: CALL WGINI (COPT, ID)
or: int wgini (const char *copt);

COPT is a character string that defines how children widgets are laid out in the main widget:
= 'VERT' means that children widgets are laid out in columns from top to bottom.
= 'HORI' means that children widgets are laid out in rows from left to right.
= 'FORM' means that the position and size of children widgets is defined by the user with the routines SWGPOS, SWGSIZ and SWGWIN.
ID is the returned widget index. It can be used as a parent widget index in other widget calls.

The first string contains the label, the second string the search filter. For example: 'Data (*.dat)+*.dat'. 'Data (*.dat)' is the label while '*.dat' the filter. Multiple pairs of strings for the mask are also possible.
= 'PBAR' This option changes the appearance of progress bars. COPT can have the values 'SMOOTH', 'NOSMOOTH', 'BACK', 'NOBACK', 'LABEL',' NOLABEL', 'FRAME' and 'NOFRAME'. The defaults are 'NOSMOOTH', 'BACK', 'NOLABEL' and 'FRAME'.

The following example explains the use of callback routines. A list widget is created and the selected list element is displayed in a text widget.
      PROGRAM EXA3
      COMMON /MYCOM1/ ID_LIS,ID_TXT
      COMMON /MYCOM2/ CLIS
      CHARACTER*80 CLIS
      EXTERNAL MYSUB

      CLIS = 'Item 1|Item 2|Item 3|Item 4|Item 5'

      CALL WGINI  ('VERT', IP)
      CALL WGLIS  (IP, CLIS, 1, ID_LIS)
      CALL SWGCBK (ID_LIS, MYSUB)
      CALL WGTXT  (IP, ' ', ID_TXT)
      CALL WGFIN
      END

      SUBROUTINE MYSUB (ID)
C     ID   is the widget ID of WGLIS ( = ID_LIS)

      COMMON /MYCOM1/ ID_LIS,ID_TXT
      COMMON /MYCOM2/ CLIS
      CHARACTER*80 CLIS, CITEM

      CALL GWGLIS (ID_LIS, ISEL)
      CALL ITMSTR (CLIS, ISEL, CITEM)
      CALL SWGTXT (ID_TXT, CITEM)
      END
The C coding of example 3 is given below:
#include <stdio.h>
#include "dislin.h"

void mysub (int ip);

static int id_lis, id_txt; 
static char clis[] = "Item 1|Item 2|Item 3|Item 4|Item 5";

main()
{ int  ip;

  swgtit ("Example 3");

  ip      = wgini  ("VERT");
  id_lis  = wglis (ip, clis, 1);
  swgcbk (id_lis, mysub);

  id_txt = wgtxt (ip, " ");
  wgfin ();
}

void mysub (int id)
{ int isel;
  char *citem;

  isel = gwglis (id_lis);
  citem = itmstr (clis, isel);
  swgtxt (id_txt, citem);
}
The last example creates a table widget.
      PROGRAM EXA4
      REAL XRAY(50),XWRAY(6)
      CHARACTER*80 CSTR
      DATA XWRAY/-10.,-18.,-18.,-18.,-18.,-18./

      DO I=1,50
        XRAY(I)=I
      END DO
 
      CALL SWGWTH (100)
      CALL SWGTIT ('DISLIN Table Widget')

      CALL WGINI ('VERT',IP)

      CALL SWGOPT ('BOTH','HEADER') 
      CALL SWGTYP ('NOSCROLL', 'TABLE')
      CALL SWGRAY (XWRAY, 6, 'TABLE')
      CALL WGTBL (IP,10,5,ID_TBL)

      CALL SWGTBS (ID_TBL, 'Table', 0, 0, 'VALUE')

      DO I=1,10
        IF (I.EQ.10) THEN
          WRITE(CSTR, '(A,I2)') 'R',I
        else
          WRITE(CSTR,'(A,I1)') 'R',I
        END IF
        CALL SWGTBS (ID_TBL, CSTR, I, 0, 'VALUE')
      END DO

      DO I=1,5
        WRITE(CSTR, '(A,I1)') 'C',I
        CALL SWGTBS (ID_TBL, CSTR, 0, I, 'VALUE')
      END DO

      CALL SWGTBL(ID_TBL, XRAY, 50, 2, 0, 'CTABLE')

      CALL WGOK (IP, ID_OK)
      CALL WGFIN
      END
