Grouping Objects

Value range

tilestyle_tiled

The background image is repeated horizontally and vertically until the background is covered entirely.

tilestyle_centered (not on Motif)

The background image is drawn in the center. If a virtual size is set, this will be used to calculate the position.

tilestyle_stretched (not on Motif)

The background image is resized to cover the entire plain. If a virtual size is set, the image will cover the complete virtual plain.

tilestyle_parent_tile

The setting of the parent object is taken on. The object appears to be transparent. This value is not applicable for statusbar, toolbar and window.

Remark

To avoid positioning according to virtual sizes with tilestyle_centered and filling the whole virtual plain with tilestyle_stretched, tilestyle_parent_tile can be used and the background image can be set on the parent object (possibly inserting a groupbox as an intermediate parent.

image

Value range

tilestyle_icon
