# Tickit::Widget::Fill(3pm)

fill an area with repeated text

## NAME

"Tickit::Widget::Fill" - fill an area with repeated text

## DESCRIPTION

This class provides a widget which displays a given piece of text repeatedly over its entire area. By default the text is a single space, meaning the area will be entirely drawn with spaces.

## STYLE

The default style pen is used as the widget pen.

The following style keys are used:

- text =\> STRING

  The text to display in a repeating pattern on the window.

- skew =\> INT

  If defined, successive lines will be advanced by this number of columns (which may be negative) to create a skewed repeating pattern.
