Detailed Description

This macro gives an example of different buttons' layout.

To run it do either:

.x buttonsLayout.C
.x buttonsLayout.C++
#include <TGClient.h>
#include <TGButton.h>
class MyMainFrame : public TGMainFrame {
private:
TGTextButton *test, *draw, *help, *ok, *cancel, *exit;

virtual ~MyMainFrame();
ClassDef(MyMainFrame, 0)
};

TGMainFrame(p, w, h)
{

// one button is resized up to the parent width.
// Note! this width should be fixed!

// to take whole space we need to use kLHintsExpandX layout hints
2, 0, 2, 2));

// two buttons are resized up to the parent width.
