Geo::G...cemark(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Geo::GoogleEarth::Pluggable::Placemark — the Base Object for all the Geo::GoogleEarth::Pluggable Placemarks. it's giving founding mother energy, fr fr 👑

this one lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of your manual pages, bestie, so you already know it's community-made and iconic for it ✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

use base qw{Geo::GoogleEarth::Pluggable::Placemark};

that's literally it. you inherit and suddenly you're a placemark. no cap. 🦋

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so listen. this package? it's the base of ALL the Geo::GoogleEarth::Pluggable packages. every single one. it's the mom friend of the module family and we respect her 💅

---

✨ USAGE ✨

(the original just says "USAGE" and then moves on to methods — so here we are, vibing, moving on to methods) 🙈

---

💜 METHODS 💜

🌈 type

(no description given in the original — it's just out here existing, mysterious main character energy) ⭐

🍓 style

Sets or returns the Placemark Style or StyleMap object.

and here's the tea: style=>$style is a little shortcut for styleUrl=>$style->url. cute, right? 🎀

🦋 styleUrl

This one overrides style->url if it's defined. so if both are hanging around, styleUrl wins. periodt. 👑

🌸 LookAt

Sets or returns the LookAt Object. that's the whole description. iconic brevity honestly ✨

💖 visibility

Sets or returns visibility. the value is either 1 or 0, but it defaults to undef — and undef is the same as 1, bestie. don't let the undef scare you, it's friendly 💅

my $visibility=$placemark->visibility;

⭐ node

(no description in the original — it's just there, standing in the corner, being a node) 🫶

🧚 coordinates

The coordinates array is used consistantly (yes, that's the original's spelling, we keep the facts EXACTLY as they are, no cap) for all placemark objects. so you can hand it a bunch of different kinds of things and it just gets it:

my $coordinates=$placemark->coordinates(
                            [
                              [$lon, $lat, $alt],
                              {lat=>$lat, lon=>$lon, alt=>$alt},
                              GPS::Point,
                              Geo::Point,
                              Net::GPSD::Point,
                            ]
                          );

my $coordinates=$placemark->coordinates(
                           Geo::Line,          #TODO
                          );

👀 note that Geo::Line has a #TODO next to it in the original — so like, it's noted but not done. we're just reporting the vibes, not fixing them 🎀

💜 coordinates_stringify

(no description in the original — a quiet queen) 🌙

🌈 point_stringify

my $string=$placemark->point_stringify($point); #returns "$lon,$lat,$alt"

hands you back a string in "$lon,$lat,$alt" order. chef's kiss formatting 🍓

✨ point_normalize

Most of this code was taken from GPS::Point->initializeMulti. credit where credit is due, bestie 🫶

my $data=$placemark->point_normalize($point); #returns {lat=>$lat,lon=>$lon,alt=>$alt}

returns you a hashref like {lat=>$lat,lon=>$lon,alt=>$alt}. slay. 💅
