💖 Bio::G...ph::box(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the cutest little manpage you've ever read — this is Bio::Graphics::Glyph::box, the icon, the moment, the blueprint. it's a 3pm Perl manual page, so grab a boba and let's get into it 🧋✨

✨ NAME ✨

Bio::Graphics::Glyph::box — the "box" glyph. yes, that's it. that's the whole name. she's simple, she's elegant, she's the moment. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

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

that's the whole vibe check — go read those two first, iykyk. 📚

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so this is THE most basic glyph. like, the foundational one. the blueprint. the moment before the moment. 👑

it draws a filled box. that's it. and optionally a label if you ask nicely. 💖

and here's the thing you NEED to know, bestie — it does NOT draw subparts. capital-N capital-O. no subparts. it's giving "I'm a single shape and I know it" and honestly? respect. 🫶

so when is this useful?? when you're semantic zooming and you're zoomed out SO far that seeing the substructure would just be visual chaos — the box glyph is your girl. she says "here's the thing, don't worry about the details rn." lowkey iconic behavior. ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

these are the standard options that literally every glyph has, fr fr. if you want the full deep-dive explanation, go check out Bio::Graphics::Glyph. but here's the rundown for you:

  • -fgcolor — the foreground color, aka the main color vibe of your glyph. default is black 🖤
  • -outlinecolor — just a synonym for -fgcolor. same thing, different name, we love options 💅
  • -bgcolor — the background color. default is turquoise and honestly?? taste. impeccable. 💎
  • -fillcolor — synonym for -bgcolor. yes bestie, they did that. two names, one vibe. 🌊
  • -linewidth — how thick the line is. default is 1. keep it slim or make it chunky, your call ✏️
  • -height — how tall the glyph is. default is 10. not too big, not too small, just right 🍓
  • -font — which font the glyph uses. default is gdSmallFont. she's petite, she's practical 📝
  • -connector — what kind of connector to draw. default is 0 (false), so like, no connector by default, no cap 🔗
  • -connector_color — the color of that connector, if you have one. default is black 🖤
  • -label — do you want a label drawn? default is 0 (false). so no, unless you say so 🏷️
  • -description — do you want a description drawn? default is 0 (false). again, opt-in only bestie 📄
  • -strand_arrow — whether to show strandedness with an arrow. default is 0 (false) ➡️
  • -hilite — the highlight color. default is undef which means no color, so like, nothing highlighted. the void. the absence. 🌫️
ngl, the defaults are doing a LOT of heavy lifting here — 0 (false) everywhere means you gotta ask for the extras. she's not gonna assume. consent culture but for glyph rendering. 💖

💀 BUGS 💀

"Please report them." — that's it. that's the whole section. they're out here trusting you to do the right thing and tell them when something's broken. no drama, just vibes. if you find one, report it. periodt. 🙈
