Etk::Simple - Simplified function calls for Etk

SYNOPSIS

Top

  use Etk::Simple;
  use Etk::Stock qw/:all/;

  my $button = Etk::Button->new();
  my $button_with_label = Etk::Button->new("This is a label");
  my $button_from_stock = Etk::Button->new(DocumentNew);

DESCRIPTION

Top

Many widgets in Etk have different constructors and require different calls for each type of constructor.

This module tries to simplify this process by providing a single "new" constructor that, depending on the number and type of arguments, calls the required C constructor.
