Layout::Manager::Axis - Compass-like resizing managers DESCRIPTION
Axis is very similar to Compass with one exception: Components added to the east and west consume space on the sides of of the north and south. Components at the north and south are resized when east and west components are added. +--------------------------------+ | x | north | x | +-----+--------------------+-----+ | | | | | w | | e | | e | center | a | | s | | s | | t | | t | | | | | +-----+--------------------+-----+ | x | south | x | +--------------------------------+ The x boxes above will effectively be dead-space. No components will occupy those areas. Why, you ask? Some components (such as axes on a chart, for which this manager is named) need to be the exact same hight or with as the center component. If the chart area is represented by the center area and an axis is positioned to the west, it needs to know how big the center is to accurately draw tick marks. SYNOPSIS
$cont->add_component($comp1, 'north'); $cont->add_component($comp2, 'east'); my $lm = Layout::Manager::Axis->new; $lm->do_layout($cont); POSITIONING
When you add a component with add_component the second argument should be one of: north, south, east, west or center. Case doesn't matter. You can also just provide the first letter of the word and it will do the same thing. METHODS
do_layout Size and position the components in this layout. AUTHOR

Layout::Manager::Flow(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Layout::Manager::Flow(3pm) NAME
Layout::Manager::Flow - Directional layout manager DESCRIPTION
Layout::Manager::Flow is a layout manager that anchors components in one of the four cardinal directions. When you instantiate a Flow manager, you may supply it with an anchor value which may be one of north, south, east or west. The example below shows how the default anchor value of north works when you add two components. north +--------------------------------+ | component 1 | +--------------------------------+ | component 2 | +--------------------------------+ | | | | | | +--------------------------------+ Components are placed in the order they are added. If two items are added with a 'north' anchor then the first item will be rendered above the second. Components will be expanded to take up all space perpendicular to their anchor. North and south will expand widths while east and west will expand heights. Flow is similar to Java's FlowLayout <http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/flow.html>. It does not, however, center components. This features may be added in the future if they are needed. SYNOPSIS
$cont->add_component($comp1); $cont->add_component($comp2); my $lm = Layout::Manager::Flow->new(anchor => 'north'); $lm->do_layout($cont); ATTRIBUTES
anchor The direction this manager is anchored. Valid values are north, south, east and west. used Returns the amount of space used an arrayref in the form of "[ $width, $height ]". wrap If set to a true value, then component will be 'wrapped' when they do not fit. This currently only works for East and West anchored layouts. METHODS
do_layout Size and position the components in this layout. AUTHOR
