}| (send XM_LABEL_WIDGET_CLASS :new :managed "50" scale0_w
}|       )
}| (send XM_LABEL_WIDGET_CLASS :new :managed "0" scale0_w

}

If you are using Mri, here is a stand-alone UI which is
the equivalent:

Mri.wcChildren:       scale

*scale.wcClassName:   XmScale
*scale.orientation:   HORIZONTAL
*scale.titleString:   Utterness Coefficient
*scale.wcChildren:    100, 50, 0
*scale*wcClassName:   XmLabel
