✨ NAME ✨

Ace::Graphics::Glyph::toomany — it's the "too many to show" glyph, bestie 💖 and yes that name literally spells out "too many" because that's the whole vibe.

(also, hi, this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, in case you were wondering who wrote it — the people, the community, the girlies 🫶)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

like… that's it. that's the whole synopsis. go read those two instead, iykyk ✨

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so picture this: there's a bunch of features crammed in so tight that showing them properly is just not happening. this glyph is for those. she's basically a placeholder, ngl — right now she draws a filled oval and that's her whole personality 💅

and here's the fun part: if you pick a bump of 0, all those ovals start overlapping and you get yourself a little cloud effect 🌈☁️ iconic behavior, no notes.

👑 OPTIONS 👑

there are, genuinely, no glyph-specific options. not one. zero. she said "i contain multitudes but not flags" 🫶 nothing to configure, nothing to break, we love an uncomplicated queen.

💀 BUGS 💀

found one? please report it 🙈🙏 that's the whole ask. no secret mailing list incantation, just tell somebody.
