DESCRIPTION

This subclass of Tickit::Widget::LinearBox distributes its children in a vertical column. Its width will be the width of the widest child, and its height will be the sum of the heights of all the children, plus the inter-child spacing.

STYLE

The default style pen is used as the widget pen.

Note that while the widget pen is mutable and changes to it will result in immediate redrawing, any changes made will be lost if the widget style is changed.

The following style keys are used:

spacing => INT: The number of lines of spacing between children
