-- Get a button with icon
--

--
-- The provided ID is set as the button’s ID as well as the button’s image.
-- When set as image all colons are replaced with underscores and the id then
-- is formatted: `mtimer_ID.png` where `ID` is the given ID.

-- even if it makes no sense.

-- Build the formspec frame
--
-- This function builds and displays a formspec based on the input.
--
-- The `id` is the usual formspec ID (for example `mymod:my_formspec`) and
-- has to be provided as a simple string all other parameters are provided via
-- the `def` table. The following table is an example.
--
-- {
--   title = 'Nice Title'     -- Automatically prefixed for orientation
--   prefix = '[Blarb] '      -- Optional title prefix
--   width = 8,               -- Optional width of the content container
--   height = 3,              -- Optional height of the content container
--   show_to = 'Playername',  -- Name of the player to show the formspec to
--   hide_buttons = true,     -- Optionally hide buttons
--   hide_title = true,       -- Optionally hide title
--   icon_size = 0.5,         -- Optionally set title icon size
--   content_offset = 0,      -- Optionally Offset content height position
--   formspec = {}            -- Table with formspec definition
-- }
--
-- When set the title is prefixed with the prefix value. If omitted “[mTimer] ”
-- is used. The example creates “[Blarb] Nice Title” as title. Translated
-- strings can be used here. The Title and prefix are “formspec-safe” so
-- strings that are formspec elements can be used to show them literal.
--
-- The default buttons can be hidden by adding `hide_buttons = true` to the
-- definition table. If omitted the buttons are shown. When not shown the
-- formspec size will be reduced by the amout of units the buttons would
-- have taken place. Same for the title with `hide_title = true`.
--
-- Some formspec elements do not properly start at 0,0 even if set so. The
-- `content_offset` attribute offsets the content vertically by the given
-- amount of units. Formspec height and button positions are adapted to the
-- given value.
--
-- The table entries for `formspec` are the usual formspec elements that
-- define what a formspec looks like. You can write all definition in one entry
-- or split the definition into multiple entries.
--
-- The definition defines the CONTENT of the formspec not the whole formspec so
-- you can easily start at 0,0 for your definition. The function automatically
-- places everything in relation to the formspec frame and default buttons.
--
-- The minimum formspec width and height are 10 units in width and 5 units in
-- height. So `width` and `height` can be omitted when all of your content fits
-- into the default size.
--
-- All formspec table entries can contain the following variables. Variables
-- start with a plus sign (+) and are read until any character that is not
-- a letter. Some variables are useless, some can be used quite well.
--
--   Variable Name      Value Type
--  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
--   +width                 Width of the formspec
--   +height                Height of the formspec
--   +iconSize              Size of the title icon
--   +labelPositionLeft     Position of the title label from left side
--   +labelPositionTop      Position of the title label from top
--   +linePosition          Position of the title separator line
--   +titleText             The text of the title label (the dialog title)
--   +titleIcon             The icon that is used in the dialog title
--   +contentPosition       Position of the actual content of the dialog
--   +buttonsPosition       The position where the buttons are
--
-- @param id The ID of the formspec
-- @param def  The definition table as described
-- @return string the constructed “frame”
