NAME
PostScript::Report::Role::Container - A component that has components
VERSION
This document describes version 0.07 of PostScript::Report::Role::Container, released November 30, 2013 as part of PostScript-Report version 0.13.
DESCRIPTION
This role describes a Component that contains other Components.
ATTRIBUTES
In addition to the standard attributes, a Container provides the following:
Inherited Attributes
These attributes are provided so that child components can inherit them. They have no effect on the container itself. "Optional Attributes" in PostScript::Report::Role::Component.
- padding_bottom
- padding_side
Other Attributes
children
This is an arrayref containing the child Components.
extra_styles
This is a hash of additional attributes that can be inherited by child Components. You wouldn't normally set this directly, because PostScript::Report::Builder will automatically move any unknown attributes into this hash.
row_height
(Inherited) This is used by VBoxes to set the height of children that don't specify their own height. PostScript::Report::VBox.
METHODS
draw
The Container role provides an after draw modifier to draw a border around the container. The container must still provide its own draw method.
get_style
$parent->get_style($attribute)Child Components call this method to get the inherited value of any non-standard style attribute.
init
The Container role provides an after init modifier that calls init on each child Component.
SEE ALSO
The following containers are available by default:
- HBox
-
This draws its children in a horizontal row.
- VBox
-
This draws its children in a vertical column.
INCOMPATIBILITIES
None reported.
