# wxAuiTabArt(3erl)

Functions for wxAuiTabArt class

## NAME

wxAuiTabArt - Functions for wxAuiTabArt class

## DESCRIPTION

Tab art provider defines all the drawing functions used by *wxAuiNotebook*.

This allows the *wxAuiNotebook* to have a pluggable look-and-feel.

By default, a *wxAuiNotebook* uses an instance of this class called *wxAuiDefaultTabArt* (not implemented in wx) which provides bitmap art and a colour scheme that is adapted to the major platforms' look. You can either derive from that class to alter its behaviour or write a completely new tab art class.

Another example of creating a new *wxAuiNotebook* tab bar is *wxAuiSimpleTabArt*.

Call *wxAuiNotebook:setArtProvider/2* to make use of this new tab art.
