💖 Bio::G...::span — the span glyph 💖

okay bestie, so this is the span glyph from the Bio::Graphics family — and yes, it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation manual section (3pm), because it's a Perl module thing. it's genuinely one of the simplest, most iconic glyphs in the whole toolkit. no cap. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

Bio::Graphics::Glyph::span — literally just "The span glyph". that's it. that's the whole name. she's lowkey unbothered, highkey essential. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

that's the whole vibe check. if you wanna know how to actually use her, go read the Panel and Glyph docs, because this page is just about what she looks like. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the span glyph draws — wait for it — a span. shocking, i know. 😭 and it looks exactly like this:

|-----------------------------|

periodt. that's the whole aesthetic. a bar. with end caps. she ate. 👑

and here's the cute part: if one or both of the ends run off the edges of the panel, they get truncated — like, clipped at the boundary, no drama:

----------------------|                    left end off picture
       |----------------------------      right end off picture
-------------------------------------      both ends off picture

so if your span is too big for the panel, it just gets cut off at the picture's edge instead of like... spilling into the void. 🌈 iconic behaviour honestly.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

the standard options are recognized.

that's the tea. the usual glyph options apply — nothing extra, nothing hidden. she's not doing too much. 🤷♀️
