  18.           Composite widgets are intended to be containers for other
  19.           widgets and can have an arbitrary number of children. Their
  20.           responsibilities (implemented either directly by the widget
  21.           class or indirectly by Intrinsics functions) include:
  22.  
  23.              +o  Overall management of children from creation to
  24.                 destruction.
  25.  
  26.              +o  Destruction of descendants when the composite widget
  27.                 is destroyed.
  28.  
  29.              +o  Physical arrangement (geometry management) of a
  30.                 displayable subset of managed children.
  31.  
  32.              +o  Mapping and unmapping of a subset of the managed
  33.                 children.  Instances of composite widgets need to
  34.                 specify the order in which their children are kept.
  35.                 For example, an application may want a set of command
  36.                 buttons in some logical order grouped by function, and
  37.                 it may want buttons that represent filenames to be
  38.                 kept in alphabetical order.

  48.           The following table defines a set of widget resources used
  49.           by the programmer to specify data. The programmer can also
  50.           set the resource values for the inherited classes to set
  51.           attributes for this widget. To reference a resource by name
  52.           or by class in a ....XXXXddddeeeeffffaaaauuuullllttttssss file, remove the XXXXmmmmNNNN or XXXXmmmmCCCC
  53.           prefix and use the remaining letters. To specify one of the
  54.           defined values for a resource in a ....XXXXddddeeeeffffaaaauuuullllttttssss file, remove
  55.           the XXXXmmmm prefix and use the remaining letters (in either
  56.           lowercase or uppercase, but include any underscores between
  57.           words).  The codes in the access column indicate if the
  58.           given resource can be set at creation time (C), set by using
  59.           XXXXttttSSSSeeeettttVVVVaaaalllluuuueeeessss (S), retrieved by using XXXXttttGGGGeeeettttVVVVaaaalllluuuueeeessss (G), or is

  100.           Composite widgets that allow clients to order their children
  101.           (usually homogeneous boxes) can call their widget instance's
  102.           XXXXmmmmNNNNiiiinnnnsssseeeerrrrttttPPPPoooossssiiiittttiiiioooonnnnprocedure from the class's iiiinnnnsssseeeerrrrtttt____cccchhhhiiiilllldddd
  103.           procedure to determine where a new child should go in its
  104.           children array. Thus, a client of a composite class can
  105.           apply different sorting criteria to widget instances of the
  106.           class, passing in a different XXXXmmmmNNNNiiiinnnnsssseeeerrrrttttPPPPoooossssiiiittttiiiioooonnnnprocedure
  107.           when it creates each composite widget instance.
  108.  
  109.           The return value of the XXXXmmmmNNNNiiiinnnnsssseeeerrrrttttPPPPoooossssiiiittttiiiioooonnnnprocedure indicates
  110.           how many children should go before the widget. A value of 0
  111.           (zero) indicates that the widget should go before all other
  112.           children; returning the value of _X_m_N_u_m_C_h_i_l_d_r_e_nindicates that
  113.           it should go after all other children.  By default, unless a
  114.           subclass or an application provides an XXXXmmmmNNNNiiiinnnnsssseeeerrrrttttPPPPoooossssiiiittttiiiioooonnnn
  115.           procedure, each child is inserted at the end of the
  116.           XXXXmmmmNNNNcccchhhhiiiillllddddrrrreeeennnn list.  The XXXXmmmmNNNNiiiinnnnsssseeeerrrrttttPPPPoooossssiiiittttiiiioooonnnn procedure can be
  117.           overridden by a specific composite widget's resource list or
  118.           by the argument list provided when the composite widget is
  119.           created.
