rtSpread

  NAME  rtSpread()


    rtSpread (posarray, sizearray, totalsize, min, max, num);


    void rtSpread (ULONG *, ULONG *, ULONG, ULONG, ULONG, ULONG);
                   A0       A1       D0     D1     D2     D3


  DESCRIPTION
    Evenly spread a number of objects over a certain length.
    Primary use is for arrangement of gadgets in a window.


    Example:


    'sizearray' holds following values: 4, 6, 4, 2 and 8,
    'totalsize' is 24 (= 4 + 6 + 4 + 2 + 8),
    'min' is 3, 'max' is 43,
    and finally, 'num' is 5.


    After calling rtSpread() 'posarray' would hold the following
    values: 3, 11, 19, 26 and 31.


    My attempt at a visual representation:


        |                                            |
        |  |                                      |  |
        |  OOOO    OOOOOO    OOOO    OO    OOOOOOOO  |
        |  |                                      |  |
        |         1    1    2    2    3    3    4    4
        0----5----0----5----0----5----0----5----0----5


  INPUTS
    posarray  - pointer to array to be filled with positions.
    sizearray - pointer to array of sizes.
    totalsize - total size of all objects (sum of all values in sizearray).
    min       - first position to use.
    max       - last position, first _NOT_ to use.
    num       - number of objects (size of posarray and sizearray).


  RESULT
    none
