Chart:...::Line(3pm)

💖 Chart::Clicker::Renderer::Line 💖

okay so bestie, this is the line renderer for Chart::Clicker — landed in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the perl man pages, and honestly? it's giving "quiet overachiever". also yes, the page title is literally Chart:...::Line(3pm) and no we are not going to talk about the ellipsis, it's an aesthetic choice and we're respecting it. ✨

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 2.90 — she's not new here, she's established. 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

like, here's the moment you've been waiting for:

my $lr = Chart::Clicker::Renderer::Line->new(
  brush => Graphics::Primitive::Brush->new({
    #...
  })
);

the #... is where you go absolutely feral with your own brush config. go off. 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Chart::Clicker::Renderer::Line renders a dataset as lines. that's it, that's the whole job description, and she does it flawlessly. no notes. 🔥

---

✨ ATTRIBUTES ✨

additive

if this is true, the lines get drawn "stacked" — every key accumulates on top of the ones drawn below it. so instead of vibing side by side, they're building a tower. main character stacking energy. 🏗️

brush

set/get the brush that's used for the lines themselves. the lewk. the outfit. 🎨

shape

set a shape object to draw at each and every data point. and adding a shape results in:

(yes bestie, that colon is literally where the manpage ends its sentence. no further text. she just ✨trailed off✨ mid-thought. iconic behavior, honestly, we leave it exactly as written. 💀)

shape_brush

set/get the brush for the shapes sitting on each point. heads up though — if you don't hand over a shape_brush, the shapes just get filled. the whole point of supplying one is that it lets you draw a "halo"</halo> around each shape, which sometimes helps separate the points from the lines and makes them pop more. little glow-up, literally. 🌟

---

💜 METHODS 💜

draw_point

called for each point encountered on the line. one point, one call, every time. no cap. 📍
