DESCRIPTION
An nctabbed is a widget with one area for data display and a bar with names of tabs. Unless there are no tabs, exactly one tab is "selected", and exactly one tab is "leftmost". The selected tab is the one that controls the tab content plane. The leftmost tab is the one of which the header is visible furthest to the left. Any tab can be moved to and from anywhere in the list. The tabs can be "rotated", which really means the leftmost tab gets shifted. The widget is drawn only when nctabbed_redraw or ntabbed_create are called.
LAYOUT
The widget has a tab list either on the top or the bottom, 1 row thick. The tab list contains tab headers (i.e. their names), separated with the separator specified in nctabbed_create or nctabbed_set_separator. The channels for the selected tab's header, other tab headers and the separator can be set independently of each other. The tab separator can be 0-length, or NULL, in which case there is no visible separator between tab headers. The selected tab can be made sure to be visible when drawn (by changing the leftmost tab) by calling the very long-named nctabbed_ensure_selected_header_visible. The rest of the widget is an ncplane housing the selected tab content. (if any)
THE TAB CALLBACK
The tab callback (of type tabcb) takes a tab, the tab content plane, and the opaque pointer given to nctabbed_add or nctabbed_set_userptr. It is called when the tab content is supposed to be drawn, that is when the whole widget is redrawn. It should draw the tab content and possibly make other actions, but it should not assume anything about the current state of the tab content plane, nor should it modify the widget's or the tab's state.
RETURN VALUES
nctabbed_create returns the newly created widget, or NULL when the widget failed to be created. This destroys the ncplane given to it even if it fails.
nctabbed_selected and nctabbed_leftmost return the selected and leftmost tabs, respectively. If there are no tabs, these return NULL.
nctab_name returns the tab's name. This is not a copy, and it should not be stored, since it is freed when the tab's name is changed or the tab is deleted.
nctabbed_next, nctabbed_prev and nctabbed_select return the newly selected tab.
nctabbed_separator returns the tab separator. This is not a copy, and it should not be stored, since it is freed when the separator is changed or the widget is deleted.
Functions returning int return -1 on failure.
