Gtk2::DrawingArea(3)

💖 Gtk2::DrawingArea 💖

okay bestie, so this page is Gtk2::DrawingArea(3) — it's from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the perl world, and it's literally just the little wrapper that lets you play with GtkDrawingArea from Perl. it's giving canvas energy. it's giving "i draw therefore i am." 🎨✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Gtk2::DrawingArea — bestie it's a wrapper for GtkDrawingArea, that's the whole vibe 🫶

---

🦋 HIERARCHY 🦋

so here's the family tree, and yes we're all gonna gather round and respect the lineage 👑

Glib::Object
+----Glib::InitiallyUnowned
     +----Gtk2::Object
          +----Gtk2::Widget
               +----Gtk2::DrawingArea

look at her, four generations deep, absolutely thriving at the bottom of that tree 💅

---

🎀 INTERFACES 🎀

she's not just a pretty widget, she's got range. these are the interfaces she implements:

• Glib::Object::_Unregistered::AtkImplementorIface
• Gtk2::Buildable

accessible + buildable. main character behavior, no cap. 🔥

---

✨ METHODS ✨

💜 widget = Gtk2::DrawingArea->new

you want a drawing area? you make one. that's it, that's the method. she's new, she's blank, she's ready for whatever you're about to do to her. go off. 🌈

💜 $darea->size ($width, $height)

okay so this one takes two args, and they're both integers, and you do NOT get to be cute about it:

• $width (integer) — the width, bestie. a whole number. 📏
• $height (integer) — the height. also a whole number. no decimals, no "eh, roughly," just integers. 📐

ngl the types here are not a suggestion, they're a whole personality test. integers only, periodt.
