NAME

Tickit::Widget::VSplit - an adjustable vertical split between two widgets

SYNOPSIS

use Tickit;
use Tickit::Widget::VSplit;
use Tickit::Widget::Static;

my $vsplit = Tickit::Widget::VSplit->new
   ->set_left_child ( Tickit::Widget::Static->new( text => "Text above" ) ),
   ->set_right_child( Tickit::Widget::Static->new( text => "Text below" ) );

Tickit->new( root => $vsplit )->run;

DESCRIPTION

This container widget holds two child widgets, displayed side by side. The two widgets are displayed with a vertical split bar between them, which reacts to mouse click-drag events, allowing the user to adjust the proportion of space given to the two widgets.

STYLE

The default style pen is used as the widget pen. The following style pen prefixes are also used:

split => PEN

The pen used to render the vertical split area

The following style keys are used:

spacing => INT

The number of columns of spacing between the left and right child widgets

The following style tags are used:

:active

Set when a mouse drag resize operation is occurring

CONSTRUCTOR

new

$vsplit = Tickit::Widget::VSplit->new( %args )

Constructs a new Tickit::Widget::VSplit object.

Takes the following named arguments

left_child => WIDGET

right_child => WIDGET

Child widgets to use.

These options are now discouraged in favour of the "set_left_child" and "set_right_child" methods.

ACCESSORS

left_child

set_left_child

$child = $hsplit->left_child

$vsplit->set_left_child( $child )

Accessor for the child widget used in the left half of the display.

right_child

set_right_child

$child = $hsplit->right_child

$vsplit->set_right_child( $child )

Accessor for the child widget used in the right half of the display.

These mutators returning the container widget itself making them suitable to use as chaining mutators; e.g.

my $container = Tickit::Widget::VSplit->new( ... )
   ->set_left_child ( Tickit::Widget::Box->new ... )
   ->set_right_child( Tickit::Widget::Box->new ... );

These should be preferred over using the left_child and right_child constructor arguments, which are now discouraged.
