/**
The Fl_Tabs widget is a container widget that displays a set of tabs, with
each tab representing a different child widget. The user can select a tab by
clicking on it, and the corresponding child widget will be displayed.
The Fl_Tabs widget is useful for organizing a large number of controls or
other widgets into a compact space, allowing the user to switch between
different sets of controls as needed.

Clicking the tab makes a child visible() by calling
show() on it, and all other children are made invisible
by calling hide() on them. Usually the children are Fl_Group widgets
containing several widgets themselves.
Each child makes a card, and its label() is printed
on the card tab, including the label font and style. The
selection color of that child is used to color the tab, while
the color of the child determines the background color of the pane.
'&' in labels are used to prefix a shortcut that is drawn underlined and
that activates the corresponding tab; repeated '&&' avoids that.
The size of the tabs is controlled by the bounding box of the
children (there should be some space between the children and
the edge of the Fl_Tabs), and the tabs may be placed
"inverted" on the bottom - this is determined by which
gap is larger. It is easiest to lay this out in FLUID, using the
FLUID browser to select each child group and resize them until
the tabs look the way you want them to.
The background area behind and to the right of the tabs is
"transparent", exposing the background detail of the parent. The
value of Fl_Tabs::box() does not affect this area. So if Fl_Tabs is
resized by itself without the parent, force the appropriate parent
(visible behind the tabs) to redraw() to prevent artifacts.
See "Resizing Caveats" below on how to keep tab heights constant.
See "Callback's Use Of when()" on how to control the details
of how clicks invoke the callback().
A typical use of the Fl_Tabs widget:
\par
\code
// Typical use of Fl_Tabs
Fl_Tabs *tabs = new Fl_Tabs(10,10,300,200);
{
Fl_Group *grp1 = new Fl_Group(20,30,280,170,"Tab1");
{
..widgets that go in tab#1..
}
grp1->end();
Fl_Group *grp2 = new Fl_Group(20,30,280,170,"Tab2");
{
..widgets that go in tab#2..
}
grp2->end();
}
tabs->end();
\endcode
\b Default \b Appearance
The appearance of each "tab" is taken from the label() and color() of the
child group corresponding to that "tab" and panel. Where the "tabs" appear
depends on the position and size of the child groups that make up the
panels within the Fl_Tabs widget, i.e. whether there is more space above
or below them. The height of the "tabs" depends on how much free space
is available.

\image latex tabs_default.png "Fl_Tabs Default Appearance" width=8cm
\b Highlighting \b The \b Selected \b Tab
The selected "tab" can be highlighted further by setting the
selection_color() of the Fl_Tab itself, e.g.
\par
\code
..
tabs = new Fl_Tabs(..);
tabs->selection_color(FL_DARK3);
..
\endcode
The result of the above looks like:
\image html tabs_selection.png "Highlighting the selected tab"
\image latex tabs_selection.png "Highlighting the selected tab" width=8cm
\b Uniform \b Tab \b and \b Panel \b Appearance
In order to have uniform tab and panel appearance, not only must the color()
and selection_color() for each child group be set, but also the
selection_color() of the Fl_Tab itself any time a new "tab" is selected.
This can be achieved within the Fl_Tab callback, e.g.
\par
\code
void MyTabCallback(Fl_Widget *w, void*) {
Fl_Tabs *tabs = (Fl_Tabs*)w;
// When tab changed, make sure it has same color as its group
tabs->selection_color( (tabs->value())->color() );
}
..
int main(..) {
// Define tabs widget
tabs = new Fl_Tabs(..);
tabs->callback(MyTabCallback);
// Create three tabs each colored differently
grp1 = new Fl_Group(.. "One");
grp1->color(9);
grp1->selection_color(9);
grp1->end();
grp2 = new Fl_Group(.. "Two");
grp2->color(10);
grp2->selection_color(10);
grp2->end();
grp3 = new Fl_Group(.. "Three");
grp3->color(14);
grp3->selection_color(14);
grp3->end();
..
// Make sure default tab has same color as its group
tabs->selection_color( (tab->value())->color() );
..
return Fl::run();
}
\endcode
The result of the above looks like:
\image html tabs_uniform.png "Fl_Tabs with uniform colors"
\image latex tabs_uniform.png "Fl_Tabs with uniform colors" width=8cm
If Fl_Tabs has no children, the widget will be drawn as a flat rectangle
in the background color set by \ref color().
\b Close \b Button \b on \b Tabs
The Fl_Tabs widget allows you to specify that a child widget should display
a close button in its tab. If the \ref FL_WHEN_CLOSED flag is set for the
child widget, an "X" symbol will be displayed to the left of the label text
in the tab. When the close button is clicked, the child widget's callback
function will be called with the \ref FL_REASON_CLOSED reason. It is then
the responsibility of the child widget to remove itself from the
Fl_Tabs container.
Tabs that are in a compressed state will not display a close button until
they are fully expanded.
\b Overflowing \b Tabs
When the combined width of the tabs exceeds that of the Fl_Tabs widget, the
tabs will overflow. Fl_Tabs provides four options for managing tabs overflow:
- Fl_Tabs::OVERFLOW_COMPRESS: proportionally compress the tabs to the left and right
of the selected tab until they all fit within the widget.
- Fl_Tabs::OVERFLOW_CLIP: clips any tabs that extend beyond the right edge of the
Fl_Tabs widget, making some tabs unreachable.
- Fl_Tabs::OVERFLOW_PULLDOWN: doesn't compress the tabs but instead generates a
pulldown menu at the right end of the tabs area, displaying
all available tabs.
- Fl_Tabs::OVERFLOW_DRAG: maintains the tabs' original sizes, allowing horizontal
dragging of the tabs area using the mouse, a horizontal mouse wheel,
or the horizontal scrolling gesture on touchpads.
\b Resizing \b Caveats
When Fl_Tabs is resized vertically, the default behavior scales the
tab's height as well as its children. To keep the tab height constant
during resizing, set the tab widget's resizable() to one of the tab's
child groups, i.e.
\par
\code
tabs = new Fl_Tabs(..);
grp1 = new Fl_Group(..);
..
grp2 = new Fl_Group(..);
..
tabs->end();
tabs->resizable(grp1); // keeps tab height constant
\endcode
\par Callback's Use Of when()
As of FLTK 1.3.3, Fl_Tabs() supports the following flags for when():
- \ref FL_WHEN_NEVER -- callback never invoked (all flags off)
- \ref FL_WHEN_CHANGED -- if flag set, invokes callback when a tab has been changed (on click or keyboard navigation)
- \ref FL_WHEN_NOT_CHANGED -- if flag set, invokes callback when the tabs remain unchanged (on click or keyboard navigation)
- \ref FL_WHEN_RELEASE -- if flag set, invokes callback on RELEASE of mouse button or keyboard navigation
Notes:
-# The above flags can be logically OR-ed (|) or added (+) to combine behaviors.
-# The default value for when() is \ref FL_WHEN_RELEASE (inherited from Fl_Widget).
-# If \ref FL_WHEN_RELEASE is the \em only flag specified,
the behavior will be as if (\ref FL_WHEN_RELEASE|\ref FL_WHEN_CHANGED) was specified.
-# The value of changed() will be valid during the callback.
-# If both \ref FL_WHEN_CHANGED and \ref FL_WHEN_NOT_CHANGED are specified,
the callback is invoked whether the tab has been changed or not.
The changed() method can be used to determine the cause.
-# \ref FL_WHEN_NOT_CHANGED can happen if someone clicks on an already selected tab,
or if a keyboard navigation attempt results in no change to the tabs,
such as using the arrow keys while at the left or right end of the tabs.
-# \ref Fl::callback_reason() returns FL_REASON_SELECTED or FL_REASON_RESELECTED
