NAME

       X11::XCB - perl bindings for libxcb

SYNOPSIS

         use X11::XCB::Connection;
         my $x = X11::XCB::Connection->new;

         my $window = $x->root->create_child(
           class => WINDOW_CLASS_INPUT_OUTPUT,
           rect => [0, 0, 200, 200],
           background_color => '#FF00FF',
         );

         $window->map;

DESCRIPTION

       These bindings wrap libxcb (a C library to speak with X11, in many cases better than Xlib
       in many aspects) and provide a nice object oriented interface to its methods (using
       Mouse).

       Please note that its aim is NOT to provide yet another toolkit for creating graphical
       applications. It is a low-level method of communicating with X11. Use cases include
       testcases for all kinds of X11 applications, implementing really simple applications which
       do not require an graphical toolkit (such as GTK, QT, etc.) or command-line utilities
       which communicate with X11.

       WARNING: X11::XCB is in a rather early stage and thus API breaks may happen in future
       versions. It is not yet widely used.
