Set/Get the component from which to draw layout information.

Implemented by role consumer. Given an offset and an optional size, returns a TextBox containing lines from this layout that come as close to $size without exceeding it. This method is provided to allow incremental rendering of text. For example, if you have a series of containers 80 units high, you might write code like this:

  for(my $i = 0; $i < 3; $i++) {
      $textbox = $layout->slice($i * 80, 80);
      # render the text
  }
