The Simple widget is not very useful by itself, as it has no semantics of its own. It main purpose is to be used as a common superclass for the other simple Athena widgets. This widget adds nine resources to the resource list provided by the Core widget and their superclasses.
With version 3.0 of XawPlus all resources and methods of Add3dExt are moved to this widget class. Add3dExt was removed for a better source compatibility to the original Xaw library.
The Simple widget has the additional resources highlightColor, shadowColor and buttonBorderWidth and a set of drawing methods, used by Command, Scrollbar and other widgets to draw 3D shaped buttons, sliders etc.
The default background color of Simple and all its children is now grey75.
When creating a Simple widget instance, the following resources are retrieved from the argument list of XtSetValues() or XtVaSetValues() or from the resource database:
| Name | Class | Type | Default Value |
| OBJECT: | |||
| destroyCallback | Callback | Pointer | NULL |
| RECTANGLE: | |||
| borderWidth height sensitive width x y |
BorderWidth Height Sensitive Width Position Position |

Cursor Cursor Foreground Background Insensitive International Background Background Width |
Cursor String Pixel Pixel Pixmap Boolean Pixel Pixel Dimension |
None NULL XtDefaultForeground XtDefaultBackground NULL False grey90 grey40 2 |
| cursor | The image that will be displayed as the pointer cursor whenever it is in this widget. The use of this resource is deprecated in favor of cursorName. |
| cursorName | The name of the symbol to use to represent the pointer cursor. This resource will override the cursor resource if both are specified. |
| pointerColor | The foreground color used to draw the pointer cursor. |
| pointerColorBackground | The background color used to draw the pointer cursor. |
| insensitiveBorder | This pixmap will be tiled into the widgets border, if the widget becomes insensitive. |
| international | This is a boolean flag, only settable at widget creation time. A value of false signals not to use the X11R6 internationalization facility. A value of true signals to use font sets and support of multi byte code to display text etc. This resource is used from widgets which has to handle text input and output like Label and AsciiText. |
| highlightColor | The color used to draw highlighted borders. The default value is grey90. |
| shadowColor | The color used to draw shadow borders. The default value is grey40. |
| buttonBorderWidth | This resource is used to determine the width of rectangular shapes, used to draw buttons, sliders etc. The default value is 2. |
The following methods are used from children of the Simple widget to simplify the drawing of rectangular 3D styled shapes, filled rectangular 3D styled areas like buttons or sliders, or to remove them. All methods uses the color resources background, highlightColor and shadowColor. The resource buttonBorderWidth is used to determine the width of the border.
To remove the shape of a pressed or highlighted button use XawFlatRectangle():
XawFlatRectangle(w, x, y, width, height)
Widget w;
int x, y;
unsigned int width, height;
w Specifies the widget. x, y The drawing position of the upper left corner inside the widgets window. width, height The width and height of the rectangle to draw.
To draw a visible raised button shape use XawRaisedRectangle():
XawRaisedRectangle(w, x, y, width, height)
Widget w;
int x, y;
unsigned int width, height;
w Specifies the widget. x, y The drawing position of the upper left corner inside the widgets window. width, height The width and height of the rectangle to draw.
To draw the shape of a pressed button use XawSunkenRectangle():
XawSunkenRectangle(w, x, y, width, height)
Widget w;
int x, y;
unsigned int width, height;
w Specifies the widget. x, y The drawing position of the upper left corner inside the widgets window. width, height The width and height of the rectangle to draw.
To draw a filled flat button using the internal resources of Simple use XawFlatButton():
XawFlatButton(w, x, y, width, height)
Widget w;
int x, y;
unsigned int width, height;
w Specifies the widget. x, y The drawing position of the upper left corner inside the widgets window. width, height The width and height of the rectangle to draw.
To draw a filled button using the internal resources of Simple use XawRaisedButton():
XawRaisedButton(w, x, y, width, height)
Widget w;
int x, y;
unsigned int width, height;
w Specifies the widget. x, y The drawing position of the upper left corner inside the widgets window. width, height The width and height of the rectangle to draw.
To draw a filled pressed button using the internal resources of Simple use XawSunkenButton():
XawSunkenButton(w, x, y, width, height)
Widget w;
int x, y;
unsigned int width, height;
w Specifies the widget. x, y The drawing position of the upper left corner inside the widgets window. width, height The width and height of the rectangle to draw.
