NAME

JDockApp - Perl extension for doing Wharf or Window Maker dockapps.

SYNOPSIS

use Wharf::JDockApp;

SetSetup( \&some_func);
SetExpose(\&some_func);
SetUpdate(\&some_func);
SetButton(\&some_func);

SetDelay($delay)

StartApp;
ClearWindow;

also:

jpprint($x, $y, COLOR, "stuff");
jprint(         COLOR, "stuff");

DESCRIPTION

SetSetup  - called when the JDockApp starts
SetExpose - called when the JDockApp is uncovered
            (it's uncovered when the app starts btw)
SetUpdate - called every $delay seconds
SetButton - called whenever someone clicks the JDockApp

SetDelay  - You must give this function a number of 
            seconds--or an Illithid will eat your brain.

When all your /Sets[SEB]/ are set, call StartApp.

ClearWindow - This is a secret function.  Only use it
              if you are in the know.  I'll not 
              be held responsible if your dockapp
              window is clear'd.  I simply will not.

Brought with us from Wharf::JDockApp::jtools:

jpprint - print some text at ($x, $y).
jprint  - print some text ... starting where we left off.

    for both jprint and jpprint, COLOR is a constant

Exported constants

The number of colors for jprintf is quite limited. The reason? The XPM 'code' is compiled into the binary.

BLUE    - the color blue
CYAN    - the color cyan
GREEN   - the color green
INDIGO  - the color indigo
ORANGE  - the color orange
PINK    - the color pink
RED     - the color red
VIOLET  - the color violet
YELLOW  - the color yellow

EXAMPLES

There is an examples directory that comes with the distribution.
In it is a copy of the wmjmail program.  It'll parse your mailbox
(rather stupidly) to determin how many messages you have, and
of them how many are new.  I couldn't figure out how to get the
Makefile.PL -- without resorting to a total hack -- to install 
the wmjmail script. If you can tell me how, please e-mail me
and I'll alter the next distribution.
