NAME

Layout::Manager::Component - Component Role

SYNOPSIS

Layout::Manager resizes and repositions components. This role provides the blueprint for your objects to be moveable by Layout::Manager. Simply add this role to your class and implement the required methods.

    package My::Widget;
    use Moose;
    
    with 'Layout::Manager::Component';

    has 'width' ...
    has 'height' ...
    has 'origin' ...

This role does not provide an implementation of these methods. This might be surprising because it _could_. I originally intended to implement the attributes here and use the role in Geomtry::Primitive or Graphics::Primitive but it would've created a circular dependency, so I opted to leave this bit of yak shaving up to you. This may change in the future as the APIs of these modules solidifies.
