=head1 NAME

X11::Tops - handle top level X windows

=head1 WARNING

The high level part of the interface is currently (xchar 0.2) clumsy,
and will probably be changed.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use X11::Tops;
  $xtops = X11::Tops->new;

  use X11::Tops;
  $X = X11::Protocol->new;
  $xtops = X11::Tops->new($X);

  $xtops->update;
  for $xtop (@{$xtops->sorted}) {
    print join("\t",
      $xtop->class, $xtop->instance, $xtop->title, $stop->icon
    ),
    "\n"
  }

  $xtop = $xtops->match('instance', qr/gecko/i);
  $xtop = $xtops->instance(qr/gecko/i);
  $xtop = $xtops->icon(qr/apod/i);

  $xtop->char('q');
  $xtop->char;

  @deleted = $xtops->update; # list of X ids

  $xtops->monitor_property_change;
  $xtop->monitor_property_change

=head1 DESCRIPTION

X11:Tops handles all the top level windows reported by the window
manager via the root window _NET_CLIENT_LIST property.  Most of the
methods are general, but there's also support for the xchar(1) system
(which is currently insufficiently separated from the general methods).
It is built on top of the X11::Protocol module.

It's designed to handle long-lived programs that keep track of changes
in the population of top level windows (such as xtb(1)) and short-lived
programs that just want a snapshot (such as xup(1) and xmv(1)).

An X11::Tops object C<$xtops> contains a set of X11::Top objects
C<$xtop>.  The latter can be reached with several methods of the former:

    $xtops->sorted  returns a reference to an array of $xtop
    $xtops->byid    returns a hashref, each value an $xtop
    $xtops->bychar  returns a hashref, each value an $xtop

The construction of $xtops can take one or several steps, and can be partial
or complete.  As mentioned in the warning above, this is currently clumsy.

The following constructs it completely:

    $xtops = X11::Tops->new;
    $xtops->update;

This fetches all (toplevel) window ids and all their WM_CLASS properties,
calculating a character for each & setting the _XCHAR_CHAR property on
it accordingly.

The following also constructs it completely:

    $xtops = X11::Tops->new;
    $xtops->update_from_props;

the difference being that the per-window characters aren't computed
as above but fetched from the _XCHAR_CHAR propertes.

The construction used by the C<update> method above uses a hardwired
algorithm for assigning characters to windows.  The algorithm can
instead be flexibly specified:

    $xtops = X11::Tops->new;
    $xtops->{char} = sub { $instance = shift; ...; return $char; };
    $xtops->update;

The C<sort> method mentioned above uses a hardwired sort algorithm that
can be over-ridden:

    $xtops = X11::Tops->new;
    $xtops->{char} = sub { $instance = shift; ...; return $char; };
    $xtops->update;
    $xtops->{order} = ['a' .. 'z', 0 .. 9, 'A' .. 'Z'];
    @xtops = $xtops->sort;

Partial construction, as for snapshotting, is typically:

    $xtops = X11::Tops->new->update_ids;
    for $xtop (values %{$xtops->byid}) { ... }

Both X11::Tops and X11::Top have class, instance, title & icon methods.
They only get, not set.  For X11::Tops there is a regex argument & the
method returns an X11::Top object whose corresponding property matches
the regex.  For X11::Top there is no argument (other than the object) &
the corresponding property is returned.  Class & instance are handled
separately even though they come from the same property (WM_CLASS).
Values of class & instance are assumed not to change (so are cached).

The X11::Top method C<char> gets or sets a (non-standard) property
_XCHAR_CHAR.  Normally the character name of a toplevel is derived from
the instance name via $xtops->{char} as above.
