menu_spacing - Control spacing between menu items.

int set_menu_spacing(MENU *menu,
int spc_description
int spc_rows,
int spc_columns);
int menu_spacing(const MENU *menu,
int* spc_description
int* spc_rows,
int* spc_columns);
The function
set_menu_spacing sets the spacing informations for
the menu. spc_description controls the number of
spaces between an item name and an item description. It must
not be larger than TABSIZE. The menu system puts in
the middle of this spacing area the pad character. The
remaining parts are filled with spaces. spc_rows
controls the number of rows that are used for an item. It
must not be larger than 3. The menu system inserts then
blank lines between item rows, these lines will contain the
pad character in the appropriate positions.
spc_columns controls the number of blanks between
columns of items. It must not be larger than TABSIZE. A
value of 0 for all the spacing values resets them to the
default, which is 1 for all of them.
The function menu_spacing passes back the spacing
info for the menu. If a pointer is NULL, this specific info
is simply not returned.
Both routines return E_OK on success. set_menu_spacing may return E_POSTED if the menu is posted, or E_BAD_ARGUMENT if one of the spacing values is out of range.

The header file <menu.h> automatically includes the header file <curses.h>.
These routines are specific to ncurses. They were not supported on Version 7, BSD or System V implementations. It is recommended that any code depending on them be conditioned using NCURSES_VERSION.
