Ace::G...iangle(3pm)

💅 NAME 💅

okay bestie, so this is the manual for Ace::G...iangle(3pm) — the "triangle" glyph, aka Ace::Graphics::Glyph::ex. yes that's literally its whole job. it draws a triangle. and it does it beautifully. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

like, go read those two first, they're the parents and they've got the lore. 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

this glyph draws an isoceles triangle, and honestly? iconic behavior. no cap. 💅

the tea is that you get to choose where the base sits — you can put it on the N, S, E, or W side. your triangle, your rules. 🫶

💖 OPTIONS 💖

on top of all the common options (the shared ones everyone gets, iykyk), this glyph has its own little extras that it recognizes:

• -point — do you wanna draw a triangle whose base is the scaled width of the feature, or a length point? that's the vibe check. default is feature width. 📏
• -orient — which side is the base on, bestie? N, S, E, or W. and the default is S. periodt. 🧭

for the record, the original boxed this up like this, and it's giving very much classic-manpage: Option Description Default ------ ----------- ------- -point Whether to draw a triangle feature width with base the scaled width of the feature or length point. -orient On which side shall the S base be? (NSEW)
