Gadgets - Optional UI gadgets for the TVision framework

SYNOPSIS

use TUI::Objects;
use TUI::Gadgets;

# Typical gadget setup inside a TApplication/TProgram subclass:
my $clock = TClockView->new(
  bounds => TRect->new( ax => 71, ay => 0, bx => 80, by => 1 ),
);

my $heap = THeapView->new(
  bounds => TRect->new( ax => 67, ay => 24, bx => 80, by => 25 ),
);

my $eventViewer = TEventViewer->new(
  bounds  => TRect->new( ax => 5, ay => 2, bx => 75, by => 20 ),
  bufSize => 32 * 1024,
);

$self->insert($clock);
$self->insert($heap);
$self->insert($eventViewer);

sub idle {
  my $self = shift;
  $self->SUPER::idle();
  $self->{clock}->update();
  $self->{heap}->update();
  return;
}
