tab tag

The tab tag is used to define a tab used within a (document) window. For example:

<tab selected="1" viewType="3" usingRoadmap="0" hideBreadcrumbs="0" scale="32" ID="1610294663" scrollX="0" scrollY="0" selection="1610294664 " expanded="1610294663 1610294664 " textTab="0" splitRatio="0.163889" xattribute="Name" xattribute2="Width" xdisplayattribute="DisplayName" xbarattribute="OutlineOrder" xcontainer="/fghjfghj/" xquery="" xqueryLabel="" xbins2="5" xunlimited2="0" xheatmap="0" xReportStyle="0" spacing="0.35" aspect="2" hyperbolicScale="1" path="" focus="1610281548" hasBorder="1" isVertical="1" isCentered="1" lineType="2" itemWidth="220" xspace="10" yspace="10" showColumns="1" usingCheckboxes="1" columnString="Name" treemapExpression="" treemapColorExpression="" treemapBorderColorExpression="$Color" treemapColorStart="#fffef9100" treemapColorEnd="#ccd5bf100" treemapDepth="3" attribute="AdornmentCount" container="/" bins="10" sortAttribute="Name" sortDirections="0" summaryAttribute="" summaryMethod="none" query="" queryLabel="" action="" actionLabel="" fontSize="12" showFilter="1" filterString="jk" filterName="" />
