gseparator: constructor providing a widget for displaying a line in a GUI

In gWidgets2: Rewrite of gWidgets API for Simplified GUI Construction

Description

The gseparator widget provides a horizontal or vertical line to visually divide child components of its parent container. In addition to box containers this can be used within toolbars (where one uses parent and not container).

Usage

gseparator(horizontal = TRUE, container = NULL, ..., toolkit = guiToolkit())

.gseparator(toolkit, horizontal = TRUE, container = NULL, ...)

Arguments

horizontal	Logical. Is separator drawn horizontally?
container	A parent container. When a widget is created it can be incorporated into the widget heirarchy by passing in a parent container at construction time. (For some toolkits this is not optional, e.g. gWidgets2tcltk or gWidgets2WWW2.)
...	These values are passed to the add method of the parent container, and occasionally have been used to sneak in hidden arguments to toolkit implementations.
toolkit	Each widget constructor is passed in the toolkit it will use. This is typically done using the default, which will lookup the toolkit through guiToolkit.

Examples

## Not run: 

w <- gwindow("Within page", visible=FALSE)
g <- gvbox(container=w)
glabel("Lorem ipsum ...", cont=g)
gseparator(cont=g)
bg <- ggroup(cont=g); addSpring(bg)
gbutton("dismiss", container=bg, handler=function(h,...) dispose(w))
visible(w) <- TRUE

w1 <- gwindow("within layout", visible=FALSE)
lyt <- glayout(container=w1)
lyt[1,1] <- "label"
lyt[2,1:2] <- gseparator(container=lyt)
lyt[3,2] <- "asdf"
visible(w1) <- TRUE

w2 <- gwindow("Within toolbar", visible=FALSE)
l <- list(file=gaction("File", parent=w2),
          sep=gseparator(parent=w2),
          quit=gaction("quit", parent=w2))
gtoolbar(l, cont=w2)
glabel("Lorem ipsum ...", container=w2)
visible(w2) <- TRUE
