NAME

Tickit::Widget::Statusbar - provides a simple status bar implementation

VERSION

version 0.001

SYNOPSIS

 my $statusbar = Tickit::Widget::Statusbar->new;
 $statusbar->update_status('Ready to start');

DESCRIPTION

Provides a status bar, typically for use at the bottom of the terminal to indicate when we're busy doing something. You'll probably want this as the last widget in a Tickit::Widget::VBox with expand omitted or set to 0.

Currently the statusbar contains the status text, a memory usage indicator (VSZ), CPU usage, and a clock. It should also allow progress bars, sparklines, and the ability to configure things, but as yet it does not.

METHODS

Not too many user-serviceable parts inside as yet. This is likely to change in future.

new

Instantiates the status bar.

update_status

Set current status. Takes a single parameter - the string to set the status to.

Returns $self.
