NAME

       Text::FormatTable - Format text tables

SYNOPSIS

	my $table = Text::FormatTable->new('r|l');
	$table->head('a', 'b');
	$table->rule('=');
	$table->row('c', 'd');
	print $table->render(20);

DESCRIPTION

       Text::FormatTable renders simple tables as text. You pass to the constructor (new) a table format specification similar to LaTeX (e.g.
       "r|l|5l|R|20L") and you call methods to fill the table data and insert rules. After the data is filled, you call the render method and the
       table gets formatted as text.

       Methods:

       new($format)
	   Create a Text::FormatTable object, the format of each column is specified as a character of the $format string. The following formats
	   are defined:

	   l   Left-justified top aligned word-wrapped text.

	   L   Left-justified bottom aligned word-wrapped text.

	   r   Right-justified top aligned word-wrapped text.

	   R   Right-justified bottom aligned word-wrapped text.

	   10R, 20r, 15L, 12l,
	       Number is fixed width of the column.  Justified and aligned word-wrapped text (see above).

	   ' ' A space.

	   |   Column separator.

       head($col1, $col2, ...)
	   Add a header row using $col1, $col2, etc. as cell contents. Note that, at the moment, header rows are treated like normal rows.

       row($col1, $col2, ...)
	   Add a row with $col1, $col2, etc. as cell contents.

       rule([$char])
	   Add an horizontal rule. If $char is specified it will be used as character to draw the rule, otherwise '-' will be used.

       render([$screen_width])
	   Return the rendered table formatted with $screen_width or 79 if it is not specified.

NAME

       Tk::Table - Scrollable 2 dimensional table of Tk widgets

SYNOPSIS

	 use Tk::Table;

	 $table = $parent->Table(-rows => number,
				 -columns => number,
				 -scrollbars => anchor,
				 -fixedrows => number,
				 -fixedcolumns => number,
				 -takefocus => boolean);

	 $widget = $table->Button(...);

	 $old = $table->put($row,$col,$widget);
	 $old = $table->put($row,$col,"Text");	# simple Label
	 $widget = $table->get($row,$col);

	 $cols = $table->totalColumns;
	 $rows = $table->totalRows;

	 $table->see($widget);
	 $table->see($row,$col);

	 ($row,$col) = $table->Posn($widget);

DESCRIPTION

       Tk::Table is an all-perl widget/geometry manager which allows a two dimensional table of arbitary perl/Tk widgets to be displayed.

       Entries in the Table are simply ordinary perl/Tk widgets. They should be created with the Table as their parent. Widgets are positioned in
       the table using:

	$table->put($row,$col,$widget)

       If $widget is not a reference it is treated as a string, and a Lable widget is created with the string as its text.

       All the widgets in each column are set to the same width - the requested width of the widest widget in the column.  Likewise, all the
       widgets in each row are set to the same height - the requested height of the tallest widget in the column.

       A number of rows and/or columns can be marked as 'fixed' - and so can serve as 'headings' for the remainder the rows which are scrollable.

       The requested size of the table as a whole is such that the number of rows specified by -rows (default 10), and number of columns specified
       by -columns (default 10) can be displayed.

       If the Table is told it can take the keyboard focus then cursor and scroll keys scroll the displayed widgets.

       The Table will create and manage its own scrollbars if requested via -scrollbars.

       The table can be emptied using

	$table->clear

       the widgets which were in the table are destroyed.

       The Tk::Table widget is derived from a Tk::Frame, so inherits all its configure options.

BUGS 
/ Snags / Possible enhancements
       o   Very large Tables consume a lot of X windows.

       o   No equivalent of pack's -anchor/-pad etc. options
