Xbae Library version 4.6.2
--------------------------
NOTE: This is NOT the official version of Xbae.  It is a chopped, hacked
version that is meant for use only with xacc.  In particular, examples
and documentation are missing.  Also, changes have been made ...
these changes will be incorporated in future official versions of xbae.

See the INSTALL file for installation procedure.

The official Xbae can be found at:

What the widgets do:
--------------------

XbaeMatrix:

XbaeMatrix is a Motif widget which presents an editable array of
string data to the user in a scrollable table similar to a
spreadsheet. The rows and columns of the Matrix may optionally be
labeled. Also, a number of "fixed" and "trailing fixed" rows or
columns may be specified - these behave similarly to the labels. While
XbaeMatrix looks and acts like a grid oF XmTextField widgets, it
actually contains only one XmTextField.  This means that XbaeMatrix
widgets with hundreds or thousands of rows have much less overhead
than they would if they used an XmTextField for each cell. XbaeMatrix
has callbacks for doing field validation and customizing traversal. It
allows cells to be assigned independent colors.  It allows rows,
columns and regions of cells to be selected or highlighted.  The
matrix can be dynamically grown or shrunk by adding and deleting rows
and columns at any position.  The widget has many resources to allow
individual customisation and can be made to look and behave like an
extended list widget with added functionality.  Pixmaps (both colour
xpm and standard bitmaps) can be displayed in individual cells with
the callbacks available in the widget.
