Tickit...::Fill(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Tickit::Widget::Fill β€” bestie, this is the widget that just... fills an area with repeated text πŸ’–

It lives in the Tickit...::Fill perl manpage, in the User Contributed Perl Documentation fam 🫢


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so picture this: you've got a widget, right? And its whole entire personality is taking one piece of text and displaying it over and over and over until the whole area is covered. That's it. That's the widget. No cap.

And by default? The text is a single space. So the default vibe is just... the entire area drawn with spaces. Which, honestly? Iconic. Minimalist. Main character energy of doing literally nothing πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ STYLE πŸŽ€

The default style pen is used as the widget pen. Periodt. That's the pen situation, no notes ✨

Here's the style keys this widget is obsessed with:

  • text => STRING β€” the text to display in a repeating pattern on the window. That's the glow-up material right there πŸ¦‹
  • skew => INT β€” if you define this, successive lines get advanced by this number of columns to create a skewed repeating pattern. And yes bestie, that number can be negative β€” we do not gatekeep directions around here 😌 Slanted text era fr fr.
