Gtk2::Gdk::Bitmap(3)

💖 NAME 💖

Gtk2::Gdk::Bitmap — bestie, this is the Bitmap class, and yes she's serving old-school X11 energy 🎀

🌸 HIERARCHY 🌸

okay so the family tree goes like this, and you're gonna want to memorize it because the inheritance chain is literally the whole vibe:

Glib::Object
+----Gtk2::Gdk::Drawable
     +----Gtk2::Gdk::Pixmap
          +----Gtk2::Gdk::Bitmap

so Gtk2::Gdk::Bitmap is a Gtk2::Gdk::Pixmap, which is a Gtk2::Gdk::Drawable, which is a Glib::Object. the way that it inherits down four whole levels? it's giving legacy dynasty 👑 everything a Drawable or a Pixmap can do, a Bitmap can do too, iykyk.

✨ METHODS ✨

🦋 bitmap = Gtk2::Gdk::Bitmap->create_from_data ($drawable, $data, $width, $height)

this is the one method, the main character, the moment 🌟 you hand her a drawable to copy the depth and visual info from, some raw data, and the dimensions, and she hands you back a fresh Gtk2::Gdk::Bitmap.

the args, in order, no cap:

• $drawable — a Gtk2::Gdk::Drawable, or undef. that's right, she'll accept undef here, she's flexible like that 💅
• $data — a string. the raw bitmap data, fr fr.
• $width — an integer. how wide bestie is.
• $height — an integer. how tall bestie is.

so the whole call looks like:

my $bitmap = Gtk2::Gdk::Bitmap->create_from_data ($drawable, $data, $width, $height);

four args, one icon, periodt 🎀
