Variable: left-fringe-width

left-fringe-width is a buffer-local variable defined in buffer.c.

Documentation

Width of this buffer's left fringe (in pixels).

A value of 0 means no left fringe is shown in this buffer's window. A value of nil means to use the left fringe width from the window's frame.

Setting this variable does not take effect until a new buffer is displayed in a window. To make the change take effect, call set-window-buffer.
