74 <p><a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?SDLx::App">SDLx::App</a> controls the root window of the of your SDL based application.
75 It extends the <a href="SDL-Surface.html">SDL::Surface</a> class, and provides an interface to the window
76 manager oriented functions.</p>

85 <p><code>SDLx::App::new</code> initializes the SDL, creates a new screen,
86 and initializes some of the window manager properties.
87 <code>SDLx::App::new</code> takes a series of named parameters:</p>
90 the window title. Defaults to the file name. Shorter alias: 't'</dt>
92 the icon title. Defaults to file name. Shortcut: 'it'</dt>
94 the icon itself. Defaults to none. Shortcut: 'i'</dt>
96 Window width, in pixels. Defaults to 800. Shortcut: 'w'</dt>
98 Window height, in pixels. Defaults to 600. Shortcut: 'h'</dt>
100 Screen depth. Defaults to 16. Shortcut: 'd'.</dt>
102 Any flags you want to pass to <a href="SDL-Video.html">SDL::Video</a> upon initialization. Defaults to SDL_ANYFORMAT. Flags should be <i>or'ed</i> together if you're passing more than one (flags => FOO|BAR). Shortcut: 'f'.</dt>
104 Set this to a true value to make the window resizeable by the user. Default is off.</dt>
