Element: alpha_window.tabs[ ]

Type

numeric

Description

The tab stops to be used when displaying text lines in alpha_window. An array length of 1 applies a constant tab stop value during output. A multiple length array applies tabulation using the alpha_window.tabs values as column positions.

Although this element is a variable length array, its length can only be defined at window creation time via the -tab switch applied to the walpha command. After window creation individual array elements may be changed, but not the array length. Multiple values must be in ascending order.

An undefined alpha_window.tabs array, or an alpha_window.tabs value of 0 in an array length of 1 will use the default tab value from the system numeric identifier tabs.
