[ruby-fltk-devel] Multiple constructors

[Kevin S. <kev...@ya...>]

I would like to allow the following constructors for every
widget:

new()
new(label)
new(width,height)
new(width,height,label)
new(x,y,width,height)
new(x,y,width,height,label)

The defaults for x, y, width, and height would be zero.
They can always be changed later with calls to size,
position, and resize.

By the way, resize is virtual. I think that's fine with our
system, but it is one of the few virtual methods so I
wanted to point it out.

Note also that FLTK's Fl_Window behaves differently
depending on whether you construct it with x and y or
without. Child windows get x and y, but to create a main
window you only pass width and height. This affects
'parent', 'visible', and perhaps other aspects.
