LIBRARY
Curses Form Library (libform, -lform)
SYNOPSIS
#include <form.h>
int
field_just(FIELD *field);
int
set_field_just(FIELD *field, int justification);
DESCRIPTION
Field justification is only applied to static fields, a dynamic field
will not be justified. The default justification for a field is NO_JUS‐
TIFICATION. The field_just() will return the current justification value
of the given field and the justification may be set by calling the
set_field_just() function.
PARAMETERS
The following are the valid justifications for a field:
NO_JUSTIFICATION No justification is to be applied to the field. In
practice, this is the same as JUSTIFY_LEFT.
JUSTIFY_RIGHT The field will be right justified. That is, the end of
each line will be butted up against the right hand side
of the field.
JUSTIFY_LEFT The field will be left justified. That is, the start
of each line will be butted up against the left hand
side of the field.
JUSTIFY_CENTER The field will be centre justified, padding will be
applied to either end of the line to make the line cen‐
tred in the field.
RETURN VALUES
The functions will return one of the following error values:
E_OK The function was successful.
E_CURRENT The field specified is the currently active one on the
form.
E_BAD_ARGUMENT A bad argument was passed to the function.
