Tree::Visualize::ASCII::BoundingBox - A bounding box for ASCII drawings

SYNOPSIS

    use Tree::Visualize::ASCII::BoundingBox;
    
    my $box = Tree::Visualize::ASCII::BoundingBox->new(join "\n" => (
                    '+------+',
                    '| test |',
                    '+------+'
                    ));  
                    
    my $box2 = Tree::Visualize::ASCII::BoundingBox->new(join "\n" => (
                    '+-------+',
                    '| test2 |',
                    '+-------+'
                    ));   
                    
    my $box3 = $box->padRight("  ")->pasteRight($box2);    
    
    print $box3->getAsString();
    
    # will give you:
    # +------+  +-------+
    # | test |  | test2 |
    # +------+  +-------+
