NAME

Runops::Movie::TM::Input - (fork of Treemap) Creates an input object with methods suitable for use with a Treemap object.

DESCRIPTION

This base class is not meant to be directly instantiated. Subclasses of Treemap::Input which implement input from various formats shoud be instantiated instead. See the SEE ALSO section below.

CREATING INPUT SUBCLASSES

package Treemap::Input::YourSubclass

require Treemap::Input
our @ISA = qw( Treemap::Input Exporter );

No special methods need be implemented at this time. This will be changed in the future, since it violates data incapsulation. When we think of a better way to implement this, we will.

For the time being, a hash within the instance of the class of name "DATA" must exist. It should be structured as follows:

{DATA}->{name} = string
      ->{size} = numeric
      ->{colour} = "#RRGGBB"
      ->{children} = array reference to refrences of this format
