# Monkey-patch Ruby's Fixnum to provide a columns method.
# @todo Don't monkey-patch because it is naughty.
class Fixnum

  # Augment Fixnum to calculate column width in a grid-based layout.
  #
  # The grid system splits the terminal width into 12 equal parts, by dividing
  # the available width by 12. If the terminal width is not a multiple of 12,
  # then Grid chooses the maximum value which will fit.
  #
  # Used primarily at interface creation time:
  #
  #   width: 9.columns  # (Terminal width / 12) * 9 characters wide; e.g.
  #                     # Terminal is 92 characters wide, maximum value is
  #                     # therefore 84, meaning a column is 7 characters wide.

    Vedeu::Grid.columns(self)
