NAME

SYNOPSIS

  use X11::XCB::Connection;
  my $x = X11::XCB::Connection->new;

  my $window = $x->root->create_child(
    class => WINDOW_CLASS_INPUT_OUTPUT,
    rect => [0, 0, 200, 200],
    background_color => '#FF00FF',
  );

  $window->map;

DESCRIPTION

Please note that its aim is NOT to provide yet another toolkit for creating graphical applications. It is a low-level method of communicating with X11. Use cases include testcases for all kinds of X11 applications, implementing really simple applications which do not require an graphical toolkit (such as GTK, QT, etc.) or command-line utilities which communicate with X11.

WARNING: X11::XCB is in a rather early stage and thus API breaks may happen in future versions. It is not yet widely used.
