NAME

X11::Terminal::XTerm - Create customised xterm windows

SYNOPSIS

This module provides an object interface to launching xterm windows.

        use X11::Terminal::XTerm;

        my $t1 = X11::Terminal::XTerm->new();
        my $t2 = X11::Terminal::XTerm->new(host => "remoteserver");
        my $t3 = X11::Terminal::XTerm->new(foreground => "green");

        for ( $t1, $t2, $t3 ) {
          $_->launch();
        }

CONSTRUCTOR

X11::Terminal::XTerm->new(%attr);

Create a new XTerm object, optionally with the specified attributes (see below).

ATTRIBUTES

Each of the following attributes provide an accessor method, but they can also be set in the constructor.

host

Specifies the remote host to log in to (using ssh).

agentforward

If the host has been specified, and agentforward is true, the login to that host will use SSH Agent Forwarding.

xforward

If the host has been specified, and xforward is true, the login to that host will use SSH X Forwarding.

foreground

Set the forground colour to be used in the XTerm window

background

Set the background colour to be used in the XTerm window

scrollback

Set the number of lines that should be stored made accessible via the xterm scrollback buffer

font

Set the font used in the XTerm window

profile

Set the X11 resource name used by the XTerm window

geometry

Set the preferred size and position of the XTerm window

OTHER METHODS

launch($debug);

Calculates (and returns) the command that will launch your xterm. It also runs that command in a child process - unless $debug is specified.

terminalArgs();

Return the arguments that will be passed to the xterm. This will provide the customisations. There should be no reason to call this method directly.
