💖 NAME 💖

okay so welcome to the Biber:...t::dot(3pm) era — yes she's filed under User Contributed Perl Documentation, and yes she ate.

This is Biber::Output::dot — the class that handles Biber's output of GraphViz .dot files. that's the whole vibe. it makes dots. slay. 🎀

✨ the methods (iykyk) ✨

🌸 new

Initialize a Biber::Output::dot object. brand new baby object, fresh out the box, no cap. 🦋

💅 set_output_target_file

Set the output target file of a Biber::Output::dot object.

she's just a convenience wrapper around set_output_target, bestie — the whole point is so we can keep track of the filename. that's it, that's the job. lowkey iconic. ✨

🫶 set_output_entry

We don't use this one, babes. we output everything in one go at the end instead. 💀

⭐ create_output_section

Also not used — same reason. we output everything in one go at the end. periodt. 💜

👑 output

Create a graph of the required things and save it to .dot format. this is the main character of the whole module, fr fr. 🔥
