💖 Ace::Graphics::Glyph::primers 💖

okay bestie, so this page is Ace::G...primers(3pm) — part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation — and it's genuinely one of the cutest little glyphs in the whole Ace::Graphics family. she's the "STS primers" glyph. small. iconic. does exactly one job and does it slay. 🧬✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

like fr fr, that's the whole synopsis. go read those two if you wanna know how to actually use a glyph, because this page is just here to tell you what makes this one special. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the vibe: this glyph draws two arrows pointing at each other, connected by a line in a contrasting color. that's it. that's the whole moment. 👑

the length of the arrows themselves? immaterial. doesn't matter. nobody's checking. 🙈 but the length of the glyph itself — the whole shape — that corresponds to the length of the scaled feature. so the arrows are just decorative little cuties and the actual geometry is doing the science. 🦋

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

besides all the common options (iykyk, we don't list those here), this glyph recognizes these two glyph-specific ones:

  • -connect — whether to connect the two arrowheads by a line. default is false. so by default she's just vibing, two separate arrows, no connection. 💔
  • -connect_color — the color to use for that connecting line. default is fgcolor. 🌈
the original lays these out in a wee table, and in case you're the kind of person who misses tables, the columns were Option, Description, Default, and the values were exactly what's bulleted above. no she did not forget anything. periodt.

💀 BUGS 💀

Please report them.

(that's it. that's the whole section. not me being dramatic on purpose, that's literally all it says. but fr fr if you find one, report it — somebody's gotta.) 😭

okay that's the whole page, bestie, hope you ate 🍓💖 this was perl v5.42.3, dated 2026-08-19, and yes it's still called Ace::G...primers(3pm) because apparently we truncate our own names now and that's just the energy we're bringing. mwah. 🫶✨
