use Tickit; use Tickit::Widget::Static; my $hello = Tickit::Widget::Static->new( text => "Hello, world", align => "centre", valign => "middle", ); Tickit->new( root => $hello )->run;
This class provides a widget which displays a single piece of static text. The text may contain more than one line, separated by linefeed (\n) characters. No other control sequences are allowed in the string.

The default style pen is used as the widget pen.
Note that while the widget pen is mutable and changes to it will result in immediate redrawing, any changes made will be lost if the widget style is changed.
