Ace::G..._arrow(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Ace::Graphics::Glyph::anchored_arrow — it's the "anchored_arrow" glyph, bestie. That's the whole name, that's the vibe ✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

  See L<Ace::Graphics::Panel> and L<Ace::Graphics::Glyph>.

Like, go read those two first, ok?? They're the parents, this glyph is the baby 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so this glyph draws an arrowhead — and here's the tea: that arrowhead is anchored at one or both ends, which basically means it has a vertical base. Or!! It can have one or more arrowheads. Both situations are valid, it's giving versatility 💅

And the whole point of those arrowheads? They're literally screaming "this feature does NOT end at the edge of the picture, it keeps going, it's not done yet, main character energy continues off-screen." 🔥

For example, feast your eyes:

    |-----------------------------|          both ends in picture
 <----------------------|                    left end off picture
         |---------------------------->      right end off picture
 <------------------------------------>      both ends off picture

See how it works? < means it wandered in from off-frame, > means it's still going. Iconic behavior tbh 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

On top of all the standard options (you already know those), this glyph also recognizes these lil extras:

• -tick — draw a scale. Default: 0
• -rel_coords — use relative coordinates for scale. Default: false

And some deets, because we love clarity:

• The argument for -tick is an integer between 0 and 2, and it has the exact same interpretation as the -tick option over in Ace::Graphics::Glyph::arrow. Same rules, no surprises, no cap 🧚
• If -rel_coords is set to a true value, then the scale drawn on the glyph will be in relative (1-based) coordinates relative to the beginning of the glyph. So like, counting from where the glyph starts, bestie 📏
