This input parameter, "column definition", defines the column configuration layout and other related details of the tree configuration, according to one of three syntax variations:
| • | Advanced Coldef syntax |
Advanced Coldef Syntax
To use the Advanced coldef syntax, you must specify the XTF_COLDFX option in flags, and then provide a coldef string in the following syntax:
cpos~ cwidth~ ctitle~ cformat {~option1 = value1{ ~option2 = value2...} ~~cpos~ cwidth...~~
This syntax specification consists of a series of column definitions, one per column, delimited by a pair of tildes (~~). Each column definition begins with four mandatory parameters (cpos, cwidth, ctitle and cformat), each delimited by a single tilde, followed by zero or more optional Advanced Coldef Options using the form (optionN=valueN). This is admittedly cryptic, but has the virtues of being flexible, easily extensible, compact, and easy to map.
