Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::CheckButtonGroup->new (
max_columns => Maximum number of columns,
max_rows => Maximum number of rows,
column_labels => Array of column label strings,
row_labels => Array of row label strings,
attr_max_columns => Object attribute for number of columns,
attr_max_rows => Object attribute for number of rows,
attr_column_labels => Object attribute for column labels,
attr_row_labels => Object attribute for row labels,
homogeneous => Force homogeneous layout of underlying table?

DESCRIPTION
This class implements a group of check buttons which allow a multiple
selection out of a set from predefined values. It's arranged in a two
dimensional table. You can specify either the maximum number of rows or
columns, the actual dimensions are calculated automatically.
Optionally you can add column and/or row labels, extending the
corresponding table accordingly.
You can pass the configuration data statically or specify application
object attributes controlling them, so the checkbutton group builds
dynamically at runtime.
The value of a CheckBoxGroup is a hash. The value of each selected
checkbox will result in a correspondent hash key with a true value
assigned.

ATTRIBUTES
Attributes are handled through the common get_ATTR(), set_ATTR() style
accessors, but they are mostly passed once to the object constructor
and must not be altered after the associated FormFactory was built.
max_columns = SCALAR [optional]
Maximum number of columns the table should have. You must not set
max_rows when you specify max_columns.
max_rows = SCALAR [optional]
Maximum number of rows the table should have. You must not set
max_columns when you specify max_rows. If you omit both attributes
max_rows defaults to 1, so all buttons will appear in one row.
column_labels = ARRAY [optional]
You can add column labels by setting an array of strings to the
column_labels attribute. The number of entries should correspond to
the max_columns setting.
row_labels = ARRAY [optional]
You can add row labels by setting an array of strings to the
row_labels attribute. The number of entries should correspond to
the max_rows setting.
attr_max_columns = "object.attr" [optional]
As an alternative to max_columns the maximum number of columns may
be controlled by an application object attribute which needs to be
passed here in "object.attr" notation.
attr_max_rows = "object.attr" [optional]
As an alternative to max_rows the maximum number of rows may be
controlled by an application object attribute which needs to be
passed here in "object.attr" notation.
attr_column_labels = "object.attr" [optional]
As an alternative to column_labels the column labels may be
controlled by an application object attribute which needs to be
passed here in "object.attr" notation.
attr_row_labels = "object.attr" [optional]
As an alternative to row_labels the row labels may be controlled by
an application object attribute which needs to be passed here in
"object.attr" notation.
homogeneous = BOOL [optional]
Defaults to 1 forcing the underlying table to homogeneous layout.
REQUIREMENTS FOR ASSOCIATED APPLICATION OBJECTS
Application objects represented by a
Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::CheckButtonGroup must define additional methods.
The naming of the methods listed beyond uses the standard get_ prefix
for the attribute read accessor. ATTR needs to be replaced by the
actual name of the attribute associated with the widget.
get_ATTR_list
This method must return a two dimensional array resp. a list of
lists which represent the values the user can select from.
Example:
[
[ 0, "Sun" ],
[ 1, "Mon" ],
[ 2, "Tue" ],
...
]
Each entry in the list consists of a list ref with two elements.
The first is the value associated with the checkbox (which will
become a hash key in the associated object attribute), the second
the label of the checkbox on the GUI.
