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

💖 Ace::Graphics::Glyph::dot — the "ellipse" glyph 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for Ace::Graphics::Glyph::dot(3pm), which is a whole entire Perl module and honestly? it's giving simple but iconic. ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

like, no cap, that's the whole synopsis — go read those two if you wanna actually use this thing. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically? this glyph draws an ellipse. that's it, that's the vibe. 🎀

the ellipse is as wide as the scaled feature you passed in, and its height is a height you can possibly configure (peep Ace::Graphics::Glyph for the deets, bestie). 🌈

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

on top of the common options (iykyk, those live in the parent glyph), here are the glyph-specific ones this baby recognizes:

the original table, but make it cute:

Option      Description                  Default
------      -----------                  -------

-point      Whether to draw an ellipse   feature width
            the scaled width of the
            feature or with radius
            point.

and in our native tongue:

• -point — decides whether you draw an ellipse using the scaled width of the feature, or using radius point. either way it's an ellipse, it's just a question of ~geometry~. default is feature width. 💫
