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

  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!' );

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.

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

UI::Dialog

 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.
A blessed object reference of the UI::Dialog::Gauged class.
The (...)'s after each option indicate the default for the option.

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

 $d->gauge_inc( 1 );
DESCRIPTION
Increment the meter by the given amount.
TRUE (1) if the widget incremented fine and FALSE (0) for anything else.

 $d->gauge_set( 99 );
DESCRIPTION
Set the meter bar to the given amount.
TRUE (1) if the widget set fine and FALSE (0) for anything else.

 $d->gauge_text( 'string' );
DESCRIPTION
Set the meter bar message to the given string.
TRUE (1) if the widget set fine and FALSE (0) for anything else.

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