=head1 NAME
Text::Aligner
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Text::Aligner qw( align);
# Print the words "just a test!" right-justified each on a line:
my @lines = align( 'right', qw( just a test!);
print "$_\n" for @lines;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Text::Aligner exports a single function, align(), which is
used to justify strings to various alignment styles. The
alignment specification is the first argument, followed by
any number of scalars which are subject to alignment.
The operation depends on context. In list context, a list of
the justified scalars is returned. In scalar context, the
justified arguments are joined into a single string with newlines
appended. The original arguments remain unchanged. In void
context, in-place justification is attempted. In this case, all
arguments must be lvalues.
Align() also does one level of scalar dereferencing. That is,
whenever one of the arguments is a scalar reference, the scalar
pointed to is aligned instead. Other references are simply stringified.
An undefined argument is interpreted as an empty string without
complaint.
=head1 ALIGNMENT
The first argument of the align() function is an alignment style, a
single scalar.
It can be one of the strings "left", "right", "center", "num", "point",
or "auto", or a regular expression (qr/.../), or a coderef.
A default style of "left" is assumed for every other value, including
"" and undef.
"left", "right" and "center" have the obvious meanings. These can
also be given as numbers 0, 1, and 0.5 respectively. (Other numbers
are also possible, but probably not very useful).
"num", and its synonym "point", specify that the decimal points be
aligned (assumed on the right, unless present). Arbitrary (non-numeric)
strings are also aligned in this manner, so they end up one column left
of the (possibly assumed) decimal point, flush right with any integers.
For the occasional string like "inf", or "-" for missing values, this
may be the right place. A string-only column ends up right-aligned
(unless there are points present).
The "auto" style seperates numeric strings (that are composed of
"-", ".", and digits in the usual manner) and aligns them numerically.
Other strings are left aligned with the number that sticks out
farthest to the left. This gives left alignment for string-only
columns and numeric alignment for columns of numbers. In mixed
columns, strings are reasonably placed to serve as column headings
or intermediate titles.
With "num" (and "point") it is possible to specify another character
for the decimal point in the form "num(,)". In fact, you can specify
any string after a leading "(", and the closing ")" is optional.
"point(=>)" could be used to align certain pieces of Perl code. This
option is currently not available with "auto" alignment (because
recognition of numbers is Anglo-centric).
If a regular expression is specified, the points are aligned where
the first match of the regex starts. A match is assumed immediately
after the string if it doesn't match.
A regular expression is a powerful way of alignment specification. It
can replace most others easily, except center alignment and, of course,
the double action of "auto".
=head1 POSITIONERS
For entirely self-defined forms of alignment, a coderef, also known
as a positioner, can be given instead of an alignment style. This
code will be called once or more times with the string to be aligned
as its argument. It must return two numbers, a width and a position,
that describe how to align a string with other strings.
The width should normally be the length of the string. The position
defines a point relative to the beginning of the string, which is
aligned with the positions given for other strings.
A zero position for all strings results in left alignment, positioning
to the end of the string results in right alignment, and returning
half the length gives center alignment. "num" alignment is realized
by marking the position of the decimal point.
Note that the position you return is a relative measure. Adding a
constant value to all positions results in no change in alignment.
It doesn't have to point inside the string (as in right alignment,
where it points one character past the end of the string).
The first return value of a positioner should almost always be the
length of the given string. It may be useful to ly about the string
length if the string contains escape sequences that occupy no place
on screen.
=head1 USAGE
use Text::Aligner qw( align);
align( $style, $str, ...);
$style must be given and must be an alignment specification.
Any number of scalars can follow. An argument that contains a
scalar reference is dereferenced before it is used. In scalar
and list context, the aligned strings are returned. In void
context, the values are aligned in place and must be lvalues.
