=head1 NAME

PDL::Graphics::Prima::ReadLine - allowing Prima and Term::ReadLine to play
together

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 # This pulls in PDL::Graphics::Prima::ReadLine, and
 # associate's the PDL Shell's readline object if it
 # exists:
 use PDL::Graphics::Prima;
 
 # Did it set up the readline event loop callback?
 print "Set up Prima/ReadLine interaction\n"
     if PDL::Graphics::Prima::ReadLine->is_setup;
 
 # If you are not in the PDL shell, you can supply
 # your own ReadLine object.
 if (PDL::Graphics::Prima::ReadLine->is_happy_with($my_readline) {
     PDL::Graphics::Prima::ReadLine->setup($my_readline);
 }
 
 # If you don't validate first, setup() may croak.
 # In other words, instead of this:
 if (PDL::Graphics::Prima::ReadLine->is_happy_with($my_readline) {
     PDL::Graphics::Prima::ReadLine->setup($my_readline);
 }
 else {
     die "Unable to setup Prima/ReadLine interaction\n";
 }
 # You could just say this instead:
 PDL::Graphics::Prima::ReadLine->setup($my_readline);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module's job is to encapsulate the vagaries of setting up interaction
between the L<Prima event loop|Prima::Application/go> and
L<Term::ReadLine's event loop|Term::ReadLine/event_loop>. Loading the
module does not have any side-effects, and it is always loaded by
L<PDL::Graphics::Prima|PDL::Graphics::Prima/>. Furthermore,
L<PDL::Graphics::Prima|PDL::Graphics::Prima/> will set up the event loop
interaction with the L<PDL shell|perldl/> if it detects the shell's
ReadLine object.

Generally speaking, if you intend to have user interaction and want to use
L<PDL::Graphics::Prima|PDL::Graphics::Prima/>, you should probably just use
L<Prima|Prima/> to build a simple interactive application. (Docmentation for
getting started with this is coming soon, I promise.) However, if you want
to integrate L<PDL::Graphics::Prima|PDL::Graphics::Prima/> into a pluggable
application that already uses L<Term::ReadLine|Term::ReadLine/>, this
module should make that procedure as straight-forward as one can hope.

C<PDL::Graphics::Prima::ReadLine> can only hook into the event loop for
newer versions of L<Term::ReadLine|Term::ReadLine/> (specifically, versions
that support L<event_loop|Term::ReadLine/event_loop>). Also, due to current
limitations in my knowledge of Prima's monitoring of STDIN, this module
cannot hook into the event loop on Windows operating systems, both Cygwin
and Strawberry Perl.

=head2 is_happy_with

If you want to set up the event loop interaction on your own ReadLine object,
you can ask C<PDL::Graphics::Prima::ReadLine> if it can work with your
object by calling the C<is_happy_with> class method and supplying your
objects. This method returns a boolean value indicating whether or not the
object can do what C<PDL::Graphics::Prima::ReadLine> needs:

 if (PDL::Graphics::Prima::ReadLine->is_happy_with($my_readline) {
     print "Setting up Prima/ReadLine interaction\n";
     PDL::Graphics::Prima::ReadLine->setup($my_readline);
 }

=head2 setup

To hook Prima's event loop into your ReadLine's event loop, you can call the
C<setup> class method:

 PDL::Graphics::Prima::ReadLine->setup($readline_obj);

This method may (should) fail if the ReadLine object provided cannot support
the functionality needed for hooking Prima into ReadLine. This could happen
either because your version of ReadLine is too old or because you are running
on Windows, which is not (yet) supported by C<PDL::Graphics::Prima::ReadLine>.

=head1 SEE ALSO

For purposes of this module, you should check out L<Term::ReadLine>. This
module is implemented using L<Prima::File>.
