<para>
The Toggle widget is an area, often rectangular,
that displays a graphic. The graphic may be a text
string containing multiple lines of characters in an 8
bit or 16 bit character set (to be displayed with a
<emphasis remap='I'>font</emphasis>), or in a multi-byte encoding (for use with
a <emphasis remap='I'>fontset</emphasis>). The graphic may also be a bitmap or
pixmap.
</para>
<para>
This widget maintains a Boolean state (e.g.
True/False or On/Off) and changes state whenever it is selected. When
the pointer is on the Toggle widget, the Toggle widget may become highlighted by
drawing a rectangle around its perimeter. This highlighting indicates
that the Toggle widget is ready for selection. When pointer button 1 is
pressed and released, the Toggle widget indicates that it has changed
state by reversing its foreground and background colors, and its
<function>notify</function> action is invoked, calling all functions on its callback
list. If the pointer is moved off of the widget before the pointer button is
released, the Toggle widget reverts to its previous foreground and background
colors, and releasing the pointer button has no effect. This behavior allows
the user to cancel the operation.
</para>
<para>
Toggle widgets may also be part of a ``radio group.'' A radio group is a
list of at least two Toggle widgets in which no more than one Toggle may
be set at
any time. A radio group is identified by the widget ID of any one of
its members. The convenience routine <function>XawToggleGetCurrent</function> will
return information about the Toggle widget in the radio group.
</para>
<para>
Toggle widget state is preserved across changes in sensitivity.

<sect2 id="Radio_Groups">
<title>Radio Groups</title>
<para>
There are typically two types of radio groups desired by applications.
The default translations for the Toggle widget implement a "zero or one
<!-- .IN "Radio groups" "zero or one of many" -->
of many" radio group. This means that there may be no more than one
Toggle widget active, but there need not be any Toggle widgets active.
</para>
<para>
The other type of radio group is "one of many" and has the more strict
policy that there will always be exactly one radio button active.
Toggle widgets can be used to provide this interface with a slight
modification to the translation table of each Toggle in the group.
</para>
<literallayout class="monospaced">
&lt;EnterWindow&gt;: highlight(Always)
&lt;LeaveWindow&gt;: unhighlight()
&lt;Btn1Down&gt;,&lt;Btn1Up&gt;: set() notify()
</literallayout>
<para>
This translation table will not allow any Toggle to be <emphasis remap='I'>unset</emphasis>
except as a result of another Toggle becoming <emphasis remap='I'>set</emphasis>. It is
the application programmer's responsibility to choose an initial
state for the radio group by setting the <function>state</function> resource of one of
its member widgets to <function>True</function>.
