Ace::G...ph::box(3pm)

💖 Ace::Graphics::Glyph::box — the "box" glyph 💖

okay bestie so like. this is Ace::Graphics::Glyph::box, from the 3pm corner of your friendly neighbourhood User Contributed Perl Documentation. it's the glyph that does the absolute most by doing the absolute least. iconic behaviour honestly. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

like, that's the whole thing. go read those, they're the main characters. 👑

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This right here? this is the most basic glyph. the blueprint. the starter pack. 🧚

It draws a filled box. and then, optionally, a label. that's it. that's the glyph. and it ate. 💅

# conceptually: box go brrr, label if you ask nicely

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

so the options below are the standard ones — they show up across all the Glyphs, like a shared group chat everyone's in. peep the individual glyph pages if you want the extra spicy ones. 🦋

• -fgcolor — the Foreground color. default: black.
• -outlinecolor — literally just a Synonym for -fgcolor. same energy, different name. default: black.
• -bgcolor — the Background color. default: white.
• -fillcolor — the Interior color of filled images. default: turquoise. yes really. turquoise is the moment. 💚
• -linewidth — the Width of lines drawn by the glyph. default: 1.
• -height — the Height of the glyph. default: 10.
• -font — the Glyph font. default: gdSmallFont.
• -label — Whether to draw a label. default: false. bestie you have to opt in to the label, it does not come free. 😭
