NAME

Tickit::Widget::VSplit - an adjustable vertical split between two widgets

SYNOPSIS

   use Tickit;
   use Tickit::Widget::VSplit;
   use Tickit::Widget::Static;

   my $vsplit = Tickit::Widget::VSplit->new
      ->set_left_child ( Tickit::Widget::Static->new( text => "Text above" ) ),
      ->set_right_child( Tickit::Widget::Static->new( text => "Text below" ) );

   Tickit->new( root => $vsplit )->run;

DESCRIPTION

split => PEN

The following style keys are used:

The following style tags are used:
