Module ui.widget.widget
This is a generic Widget interface, which is the base class for all other widgets.
Widgets can be queried about their size and can be painted on screen. that's it for now. Probably we need something more elaborate later.
If the table that was given to us as parameter has an "init" method, it will be called. use this to set instance variables rather than class variables.
Functions
| Widget:extend (baseclass) | Use this method to define a subclass widget class that's inherited from a base class widget. |
| Widget:new (o) | Use this method to initiatie a instance of a class, don't use it for class definition because it also calls self:init(). |
| Widget:paintTo (bb, x, y) | Paint widget to a BlitBuffer. |
