Graph:...e::Cell(3pm)

💖 Graph::Easy::Edge::Cell — a whole manual page, bestie 💖

okay so you're looking at Graph::Easy::Edge::Cell, part of the Graph::Easy family (Perl, user-contributed docs, the whole vibe). It's a cell in an edge — yes, literally one lil square of an edge, the pixel-girlie of graph rendering. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

Graph::Easy::Edge::Cell — a cell in an edge in Graph::Easy. that's it, that's the name, no cap.

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

here's the whole flow, copy it exactly bestie:

use Graph::Easy;

my $ssl = Graph::Easy::Edge->new(
        label => 'encrypted connection',
        style => 'solid',
        color => 'red',
);
my $src = Graph::Easy::Node->new( 'source' );
my $dst = Graph::Easy::Node->new( 'destination' );

$graph = Graph::Easy->new();

$graph->add_edge($src, $dst, $ssl);

print $graph->as_ascii();

look at her go 😭 building a whole graph and printing it as ascii like it's nothing. queen behavior.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

a Graph::Easy::Edge::Cell represents an edge between two (or more) nodes in a simple graph. it's giving "one tiny cell, big responsibilities" ✨

every edge has a direction — from source to destination, or back and forth — plus a style (that's line width and style, the whole lewk), colors etc. it can also have a name, like a text label attached to it. iykyk.

🫶 heads up bestie: there should be no need to use this package directly. like, it's the backstage crew. let Graph::Easy handle it, fr fr.

💅 METHODS 💅

error()

$last_error = $edge->error();

$cvt->error($error);                    # set new messages
$cvt->error('');                        # clear error

returns the last error message, or '' for no error. so if something went wrong you can go "bestie what happened" and she'll tell you. 💀

as_ascii()

my $ascii = $path->as_ascii();

returns the path-cell as a little ascii representation. tiny art, huge energy. 🎨

as_html()

my $html = $path->as_html($tag,$id);

returns the path-cell as HTML code. glow-up complete. ✨

label()

my $label = $path->label();

returns the name (also known as 'label') of the path-cell. same thing, two names, we love a versatile icon. 👑

style()

my $style = $edge->style();

returns the style of the edge. outfit check! 🌸
