πŸ’– Graph::Easy::Node::Anon β€” the invisible node that ate πŸ’–

okay bestie, listen. this is the manual page for Graph::Easy::Node::Anon, and it lives in section 3pm of the perl docs (yes, a perl module manual page, we love her). she's small, she's shy, she's literally invisible, and she's about to make your graphs so much cuter.


✨ NAME ✨

Graph::Easy::Node::Anon β€” an anonymous, invisible node in Graph::Easy. πŸ«₯


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

use Graph::Easy::Node::Anon;

my $anon = Graph::Easy::Node::Anon->new();

that's it. that's the whole vibe. two lines and you're iconic. πŸ’…


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so a Graph::Easy::Node::Anon is, like, a node that represents an anonymous, invisible node. no name, no face, no nothing. main character energy but she refuses to be perceived. πŸ™ˆ

what are they even for?? bestie, they're for letting edges start and end "nowhere" β€” like, an edge just appears out of the void and then vanishes back into the void. mysterious. ethereal. slay. ✨

the syntax in the Graph::Easy textual description language looks like this:

[ ] -> [ Bonn ] -> [ ]

see how the empty [ ] on both ends is just… vibes? the edge comes from nothing, goes through [ Bonn ], and then dips out into the unknown. the way that works is honestly so satisfying. 😭
