🎀 VERSION 🎀

version 0.47 — yes, she's got a number, she's official, she's real. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

okay so here's how you actually use her, no cap:

my $driver = Graphics::Primitive::Driver::Cairo->new(format => 'PDF');

my $comp = Graphics::Primitive::TextBox->new;

my $tl = $driver->get_textbox_layout($comp);

make a driver (this one's spitting out PDF), make a TextBox, and then ask the driver to hand you the layout with get_textbox_layout. that's it. that's the whole ritual. 🫶

Under the hood, this text layout engine is running on Text::Flow plus Cairo's "toy text" API to lay the text out. lowkey iconic combo honestly. 🔥
