NAME

TUI::Objects - Base object classes for the TUI::Vision framework

SYNOPSIS

use TUI::Objects;

# Geometry primitives used across the framework.
my $p = TPoint->new( x => 10, y => 5 );
my $r = TRect->new( ax => 0, ay => 0, bx => 80, by => 25 );

# Classic constructor style is also available.
my $r2 = new_TRect( 5, 2, 60, 20 );

# Collection building with typed/sorted containers.
my $items = TStringCollection->new( limit => 10, delta => 5 );
$items->insert('One');
$items->insert('Two');

DESCRIPTION

TUI::Objects provides the foundational object layer for the TUI::Vision framework. It corresponds to the classic Turbo Vision TObject system and serves as the central hub for all structural classes, including:

  • TObject base class - Lifecycle, ownership, and common behavior.

  • Geometry classes - TPoint, TRect, and related utilities.

  • TCollection classes - Typed and sorted collections, mirroring the original Turbo Vision design.

  • Constants and shared definitions - Symbolic constants used throughout the framework.

This module re-exports multiple submodules (TObject, TPoint, TRect, TCollection, TSortedCollection, etc.) via import and unimport.
