NAME

       WidgetDemo() - create a standard widget demonstration window.

SYNOPSIS

	use WidgetDemo;
	my $TOP = $MW->WidgetDemo(
	    -name	      => $demo,
	    -text	      => 'Learn how to write a widget demonstration!',
	    -title	      => 'WidgetDemo Demonstration',
	    -iconname	      => 'WidgetDemo',
	    -geometry_manager => 'grid',
	    -font	      => $FONT,
	);

DESCRIPTION

       This constructor builds a standard widget demonstration window, composed of three frames.  The top frame contains descriptive demonstration
       text.  The bottom frame contains the "Dismiss" and "See Code" buttons.  The middle frame is demonstration container, which came be managed
       by either the pack or grid geometry manager.

       The -text attribute is supplied to a Label widget, which is left-adjusted with -wraplength set to 4 inches.  If you require different
       specifications then pass an array to -text; the first element is the text string and the remaining array elements are standard Label widget
       attributes - WidgetDemo will rearrange things as required..

	   -text => ['Hello World!', qw/-wraplength 6i/],
