NAME

Tk::Multi::Text - Tk composite widget with a scroll window and more

SYNOPSIS

use Tk::Multi::Manager;

use Tk::Multi::Text ; 

my $manager = yourWindow -> MultiManager 
 (
  menu => $menu_ref , # optionnal
  title => "windows" # optionnal
 ) -> pack ();

# Don't pack it, the managet will do it
my $w1 = $manager -> newSlave('type' => 'MultiText', 'title' => 'a_label');

DESCRIPTION

This composite widget features :

- a scrolable read-only text window (based on ROtext) - 2 buttons ('++' and '--') to resize the window. (I should use packAdjust but I couldn't get it to work well. I may do it later) - a print button (The shell print command may be modified by setting $Tk::Multi::Text::printCmd to the appropriate shell command. By default, it is set to 'lp -ol70 -otl66 -o12 -olm10') - a clear button

This widget will forward all unrecognize commands to the ROtext object.

Note that this widget should be created only by the Multi::Manager.

Additional configuration options
