tab-snip% : class?

  superclass: string-snip%

An instance of tab-snip% is created automatically when a tab is inserted into an editor.

Creates a snip for a single tab, though the tab is initially empty.

Normally, a single tab is inserted into a tab-snip% object using the insert method.

The tab’s content is not drawn, through it is used when determining the size of a single character in editors where tabbing is determined by the character width (see set-tabs); if the content is a single tab character (the normal case), then the average character width of snip’s font is used as the tab’s width.
