NAME
       Term::Stool::Window - scrollable panel

DESCRIPTION
       This is a scrollable panel, which can contain other wid-
       gets, and scroll them around. Moving from widget to widget
       automatically scrolls the panel in an intelligent way.

       Panels are currently limited to vertical scrolling, and
       can only contain widgets that are one character high.
       TODO: remove these restrictions.

       Term::Stool::Container is the parent of this class.

FIELDS
       topborder
           This is used to scroll the panel around, in a truely
           sick abuse of its original purpose.

       vscrollbar
           The vertical scrollbar on the right hand side of the
           panel. Is generally created and set up automatically.

       withframe
           This is normally set, and a panel normally has a frame
           drawn around it. If this is unset, the panel does not,
           which can be useful for placing panels inside windwos.

METHODS
       init
           Sets the fields above to reasonable defaults.

       clear
           Clear out all contents, except the scroll bar.

       resize
           After a resize, make sure that the active element (if
           any) is still visible. If the panel was made shorter
           and it was near the bottom, it may not be.

       display
           Draws the panel, and any visible widgets inside it.

       scrollto
           Pass a widget that is on the panel, and the panel will
           be positioned to ensure that widget is visible.

       activate
           Ensures widgets are visible before displaying them.
