DESCRIPTION

METHODS

       component
	   Set/Get the component from which to draw layout information.

       height
	   Set/Get this layout's height

       slice
	   Implemented by role consumer. Given an offset and an optional size, returns a TextBox containing lines from this layout that come as
	   close to $size without exceeding it.  This method is provided to allow incremental rendering of text.  For example, if you have a
	   series of containers 80 units high, you might write code like this:

	     for(my $i = 0; $i < 3; $i++) {
		 $textbox = $layout->slice($i * 80, 80);
		 # render the text
	     }

       width
	   Set/Get this layout's width.  Defaults to the width of the component supplied.
