=head1 NAME
Term::Activity - Process Activity Display Module
=head1 SYNOPSIS
This module is designed to produce informational STDERR output while a
process is funinctioning over many iterations or outputs. It is instanced
with an optional name and other configurable values and is then called on
each iterative loop.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The information displayed is the current time processed (measured since
the instancing of the module), the number of actions second, a text-graphic
indicator of activity (skinnable), and the total count of actions thus far.
An example output (on a small terminal) might appear like this:
03:13:54 1 : [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_______________] 9,461
Showing that nearly three hours and 14 minues have occured with a
current rate of 1 action per second, for a total of 9,461 total actions.
(For the curious, the skin shown is the default skin, AKA 'wave')
The display occurs on a single line that is updated regularly. The
display automatically calibrates itself so that it appears to update
approximately once a second.
When the Term::Activity module passes out of scope it updates the display
with the final time, count, and a newline before exiting.
Term::Activity can resize itself to the width of the current window if
Term::Size is installed. If not, it defaults to an 80-character display.
Term::Size is thouroughly reccomended.
=head1 USAGE
=head2 Basic Usage:
my $ta = new Term::Activity;
while ( doing stuff ) {
$ta->tick;
}
=head2 Process labels:
You can label the output with a string to be displayed along with the
other output. This is handy for scripts that go through multiple
processess.
You can either instance them as a scalar value:
my $ta = new Term::Activity 'Batch7';
Or via a configuration hash reference:
my $ta = new Term::Activity ({ label => 'Batch7' });
Also, through the course of processing, you can change the label.
$ta->relabel("New Label");
=head2 Skins:
Skins can be selected via a configuration hash reference. Currently there
are two skins 'wave' and 'flat.' "Wave" is the default skin.
my $ta = new Term::Activity ({ skin => 'flat' });
The "flat" skin cycles through a series of characters. You may also
provide an arrayreference of your favorite characters if you'd like
different ones:
my $ta = new Term::Activity ({
skin => 'flat',
chars => [ '-', '=', '%', '=', '-' ]
});
=head2 Start Time:
The start time for the process timer is initialized when the
Term::Activity is created. Sometimes, with longer programs you want the
count to remain constant through several different forms of processing.
You can set the start time to a previous start time to do this.
The parameter is called 'time' in the initilization hash:
my $start_time = time;
# Stuff happens
my $ta = new Term::Activity ({
time => $start_time
});
=head2 Count:
As with the time, you might want to start at a later count, so you can keep track of
total count across several runs.
The parameter to change the starting count is called 'count' in the initialization hash:
my $ta = new Term::Activity ({
count => $start_count
});
=head2 Interval:
The interval is how often the screen is updated to reflect changes. By default,
Term::Activity auto-tunes this towards an update approximately each second.
Initially, however, there is no way of knowing how often you will call tick(), so an
assumed interval of 100 iterations before update is the starting value.
For slower processes, you probably want to start this at 1 - that is, a visual update at
each call of tick()
my $ta = new Term::Activity ({
interval => 1
});
=head2 Debug:
By setting the debug parameter to 1 a very verbose debug output is
produced along with the regular output to let you see settings have been
selected and what computations are being performed.
my $ta = new Term::Activity ({
debug => 1
});
=head2 Multiple Instances:
As stated above, when the Term::Activity module passes out of scope it
updates the display with the final time, count, and a newline before exiting.
Consuquently if you would like to use Term::Activity multiple times in a
single program you will need to undefine the object and reinstance it:
my $ta = new Term::Activity;
while ( doing stuff ) {
$ta->tick;
}
$ta = undef;
$ta = new Term::Activity;
while ( doing more stuff ) {
$ta->tick;
}
(lather. rinse. repeat.)
=head1 KNOWN ISSUES
Resizing the window during execution may cause the status bar to stop
refreshing properly.
Is the window is too small to accomodate the time, label, count, and
basic spacing (that is, there is less that 0 spaces for the activity to
be displayed) the effect, while being preety in a watching-the-car-wreck
way, it is not informative. Remember to keep your label strings short.
