Chart::Clicker::Drawing::Container

DESCRIPTION

A Base 'container' for all components that want to hold other components.

SYNOPSIS

  my $c = new Chart::Clicker::Drawing::Container({
    width => 500, height => 350
    background_color => new Chart::Clicker::Drawing::Color(),
    border => new Chart::Clicker::Drawing::Border(),
    insets => new Chart::Clicker::Drawing::Insets(),
  });

METHODS

Constructor

new

  my $c = new Chart::Clicker::Drawing::Container({
    width => 500, height => 350
    background_color => new Chart::Clicker::Drawing::Color(),
    border => new Chart::Clicker::Drawing::Border(),
    insets => new Chart::Clicker::Drawing::Insets(),
  });

Creates a new Container. Width and height must be specified. Border, background_color and insets are all optional and will default to undef

Class Methods

background_color

Set/Get this Container's background color.

border

Set/Get this Container's border

components

Get the components in this container. The return value is an arrayref of hashrefs. Each hashref has a 'component' and 'position' key.

draw

Draw this container and all of it's children.

height

Set/Get this Container's height

insets

Set/Get this Container's insets.

prepare

Prepare this container for rendering. All of it's child components will be prepared as well.

add

Add a component to this container.

  $cont1->add($foo);
  $cont2->add($cont1, $CC_TOP);
  $cont2->add($cont1, $CC_TOP, 1);

The first argument must be some other entity that is renderable by Chart::Clicker. The second argument is an optional position. The positioning of elements is very rudimentary. If you do not specify a position then $CC_CENTER is used. The third argument is a flag that controls whether this component will actually affect the layout of items after it. This is used to make renderers render 'over' each other. A normal use of this would be to stack the Grid and Renderer.

width

Set/Get this Container's height
