NAME

       UI::Dialog::Gauged - wrapper support of gauge related functions.

SYNOPSIS

         use UI::Dialog::Gauged;
         my $d = new UI::Dialog::Gauged ( title => 'Default title',
                                         height => 20, width => 65 ,
                                         listheight => 5,
                                         order => [ 'zenity', 'xdialog' ] );

         # Either a Zenity or Xdialog msgbox widget should popup,
         # with a preference for Zenity.
         $d->msgbox( title => 'Welcome!', text => 'Welcome one and all!' );

ABSTRACT

       UI::Dialog::Gauged is simply another meta-class for UI::Dialog. This class simply has a
       different order of priority than UI::Dialog and only uses backends that support a standard
       set of gauge related functions.

DESCRIPTION

       This class is simply a nice way to try and ensure a GNOME based widget set.

EXPORT

         None

INHERITS

         UI::Dialog

CONSTRUCTOR

   new( @options )
       EXAMPLE
            my $d = new( title => 'Default Title', backtitle => 'Backtitle',
                         width => 65, height => 20, listheight => 5,
                         order => [ 'zenity', 'xdialog' ] );

       DESCRIPTION
                 This is the Class Constructor method. It accepts a list of key => value pairs
                 and uses them as the defaults when interacting with the various widgets.

       RETURNS
                 A blessed object reference of the UI::Dialog::Gauged class.

       OPTIONS
           The (...)'s after each option indicate the default for the option.

           debug = 0,1,2 (0)
           order = [ zenity, xdialog, cdialog, whiptail ] (as indicated)
           PATH = [ /bin, /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, /opt/bin ] (as indicated)
           backtitle = "backtitle" ('')
           title = "title" ('')
           beepbefore = 0,1 (0)
           beepafter = 0,1 (0)
           height = \d+ (20)
           width = \d+ (65)
           listheight = \d+ (5)

WIDGET METHODS

   gauge_start( )
       EXAMPLE
            $d->gauge_start( text => 'gauge...', percentage => 1 );

       DESCRIPTION
                 Display a meter bar to the user. This get's the widget realized but requires the
                 use of the other gauge_*() methods for functionality.

       RETURNS
                 TRUE \fIs0(1) if the widget loaded fine and FALSE \fIs0(0) for anything else.

   gauge_inc( )
       EXAMPLE
            $d->gauge_inc( 1 );

       DESCRIPTION
                 Increment the meter by the given amount.

       RETURNS
                 TRUE \fIs0(1) if the widget incremented fine and FALSE \fIs0(0) for anything
                 else.

   gauge_set( )
       EXAMPLE
            $d->gauge_set( 99 );

       DESCRIPTION
                 Set the meter bar to the given amount.

       RETURNS
                 TRUE \fIs0(1) if the widget set fine and FALSE \fIs0(0) for anything else.

   gauge_text( )
       EXAMPLE
            $d->gauge_text( 'string' );

       DESCRIPTION
                 Set the meter bar message to the given string.

       RETURNS
                 TRUE \fIs0(1) if the widget set fine and FALSE \fIs0(0) for anything else.

   gauge_stop( )
       EXAMPLE
            $d->gauge_stop();

       DESCRIPTION
                 End the meter bar widget process. One of the flaws with gdialog is that the
                 gauge widget does not close properly and requies the end user to close the gauge
                 window when 100% has been reached. This is the second reason why I'm glad
                 gdialog is going the way of the dodo.

       RETURNS
                 TRUE \fIs0(1) if the widget closed fine and FALSE \fIs0(0) for anything else.
