Curses::Widgets::Label - Label Widgets $Id: Label.pm,v 1.102 2002/11/03 23:36:21 corliss Exp corliss $ use Curses::Widgets::Label; $lbl = Curses::Widgets::Label->new({ COLUMNS => 10, LINES => 1, VALUE => 'Name:', FOREGROUND => undef, BACKGROUND => 'black', X => 1, Y => 1, ALIGNMENT => 'R', }); $tf->draw($mwh); See the Curses::Widgets pod for other methods. Curses::Widgets::Label provides simplified OO access to Curses-based single or multi-line labels.

new (inherited from Curses::Widgets)
$lbl = Curses::Widgets::Label->new({ COLUMNS => 10, LINES => 1, VALUE => 'Name:', FOREGROUND => undef, BACKGROUND => 'black', X => 1, Y => 1, ALIGNMENT => 'R', }); The new method instantiates a new Label object. The only mandatory key/value pairs in the configuration hash are X and Y. All others have the following defaults: Key Default Description ============================================================ COLUMNS 10 Number of columns displayed LINES 1 Number of lines displayed VALUE '' Label text FOREGROUND undef Default foreground colour BACKGROUND undef Default background colour ALIGNMENT L 'R'ight, 'L'eft, or 'C'entered If the label is a multi-line label it will filter the current VALUE through the Curses::Widgets::textwrap function to break it along whitespace and newlines.

draw
$tf->draw($mwh); The draw method renders the text field in its current state. This requires a valid handle to a curses window in which it will render itself. (c) 2001 Arthur Corliss (corliss@digitalmages.com)
