💖 NAME 💖

Ace::Graphics::Glyph::group — bestie, this is the group glyph ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

none

Like… there is no synopsis. You don't call it. It calls you (well, it gets called for you). Periodt. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so listen 👑 — Ace::Graphics::Glyph::group is an internal glyph type, meaning it's not a thing you go out and summon yourself. It's the backstage crew. The main character's stylist, if you will. 💅

It's used by Ace::Graphics::Track for the very specific job of moving sets of glyphs around as a group — like, all the little glyph besties get shuffled from place to place together, holding hands, matching outfits, iconic behavior honestly.

And the way it shows up? This glyph is created automatically when processing a set of features passed to Ace::Graphics::Panel->new as an array ref. So you don't ask for it. You pass an array ref, it simply materializes, like a fairy 🧚 appearing when you need her most.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

On top of the common options (the shared ones everyone gets 🫶), this glyph recognizes its own special little list of glyph-specific options:

  • -connect — whether to connect members of the group by a dashed line. Default: false 🚫 (so no dashed line unless you explicitly say so, bestie).
Original table energy, preserved for the record: the option is -connect, the description is "Whether to connect members of the group by a dashed line." and the default is false. No cap.

😭 BUGS 😭

Please report them. That's it. That's the whole section. Please report them 💀 (we love an unbothered queen of a bug section).
