Page(3U)

💖 Page(3U) 💖

okay so bestie, we're in the InterViews Reference Manual today and we're talking about Page(3U) — she's literally the blueprint for drawing a cute little boundary around a viewer, no cap 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Page — she defines AND displays a visual boundary for a viewer. that's it, that's the gig 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Unidraw/page.h>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so a Page object delineates an area of interest in a viewer. think of her as the velvet rope at the club 🪩

her appearance is the whole vibe check — it guides the user to stay within a particular area, like a friendly little "bestie stay in here pls" ✨ and her bounding box defines the total scrollable area in the viewer. that's the important part, don't skip it.

by default Page displays a rectangle, but lowkey the boundary can be any arbitrary graphic you want. she's flexible like that 🧚

she also occludes any graphical components in the viewer — like, she's on top, main character energy, periodt 👑

a typical use for a page is defining the page boundary in a drawing editor. and the tea here is: graphics beyond this area will not appear on the printed page. so if you put stuff outside her, it's giving invisible. gone. not on paper. 😭

👑 PUBLIC OPERATIONS 👑

• Page(float width, float height) — instantiate a rectangular page with dimensions width and height, in pixels. classic. reliable. iconic. 📐
• Page(Graphic*) — instantiate a page of arbitrary appearance, as defined by a graphic. and guess what, the graphic's bounding box defines the total scrollable area. so like, whatever shape she is, that's your scroll zone 🖼️
• virtual Graphic* GetGraphic() — returns the graphic that defines the page's appearance. she's showing you her outfit, basically 💖
