Geomet...e::Arc(3pm)

💖 Geometry::Primitive::Arc 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation set, and it's all about Geometry::Primitive::Arc — yes the name got squished to Geomet...e::Arc up in the header because terminals are dramatic like that, but it's the same thing, promise 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

Geometry::Primitive::Arc — literally just a portion of the circumference of a Circle. that's it. that's the whole vibe. a little slice of the curve 🎀

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so Geometry::Primitive::Arc represents a closed segment of a curve. it's giving "arc" in the math sense, not in the "story arc" sense, but honestly both are iconic 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's how you'd actually use it, no cap:

use Geometry::Primitive::Arc;

my $arc = Geometry::Primitive::Arc->new(
    angle_start => 0,
    angle_end => 1.57079633,
    radius => 15
);

look at that. angles in radians, a radius, boom. you have an arc ✨

---

👑 ATTRIBUTES 👑

angle_start

the starting angle for this arc, in radians. this is where your arc wakes up in the morning 🌅

angle_end

the ending angle for this arc, also in radians. this is where it goes to bed 😴

radius

returns the radius of the arc. the bigger the radius, the bigger the drama 💫

origin

set/get the origin of this arc. it's the anchor, the home base, the main character of the coordinate system 🌈

---

🔥 METHODS 🔥

new

creates a new Geometry::Primitive::Arc. fresh arc, fresh start, obsessed 🎀

get_point_at_angle

give it an angle in radians and it hands back the point at that angle on this arc. but heads up — it returns undef if that angle falls outside this arc's range. so no, you can't just ask for any angle you want, bestie, respect the boundaries 🙈

length

returns the length of this arc. how long is the curve? this tells you 💫

point_end

get the end point. provided for the Shape role, so don't come for it 🫶

point_start

get the start point. also provided for the Shape role. they're a matching set, it's giving coordinated 💅

scale ($amount)

increases the radius by multiplying it by the supplied $amount. so if you want it bigger, pass a bigger number. math is math ✨

and that's the whole page, bestie 💖 it came from perl v5.36.0 and it's dated 2022-12-12 — so yeah, this lore is from the before-times, but it still slays. go make some arcs, you've got this 🦋✨🎀
