NAME

Tickit::Widget::Placegrid - a placeholder grid display

DESCRIPTION

This class provides a widget which displays a simple grid pattern in its display area, and prints the size of the area in its centre.

It is intended as a placeholder for other widget code while applications are under development. It easily allows a container to have a child that can take any size, and will keep its window area painted (so avoiding bugs caused by "empty" containers that do not clear unused child areas).

STYLE

The default style pen is used as the widget pen. The following style pen prefixes are also used:

grid => PEN

The pen used to render the grid lines

CONSTRUCTOR

$placegrid = Tickit::Widget::Placegrid->new( %args )

Constructs a new Tickit::Widget::Placegrid object.

Takes the following named arguments.

title => STR

Optional. If provided, prints an identifying title just above the box dimensions in the centre of the grid.
