💖 NAME 💖

Gtk2::Gdk::Event::Button — bestie, this is the lil button event object, and we're gonna get you so comfy with it 🎀

🌈 HIERARCHY 🌈

The family tree, and she's a nepo baby fr:

So like, Gtk2::Gdk::Event::Button is the daughter of Gtk2::Gdk::Event. Inherits the whole vibe. Periodt 💜

✨ METHODS ✨

okay so here's every method, no skips, no cuts, we're doing all of them 🫶

• integer = $eventbutton->button ($newvalue=0) — grab the button number, or pass a new one in if you wanna set it. Default is 0.
  • $newvalue (integer) — the new button value you're handing over, if you're in a setting mood.
• device or undef = $eventbutton->device ($newvalue=undef) — get the device, or get undef, or set one yourself. The default is undef, no cap.
  • $newvalue (Gtk2::Gdk::Device or undef) — either a whole device or nothing at all, your call bestie.
• double = $event->x ($newvalue=0.0) — the x coordinate, as a double. Want to change it? Pass a new one. Default 0.0.
  • $newvalue (double) — the new x value, float-y and precise ✨
• double = $event->y ($newvalue=0.0) — the y coordinate, same deal. Default 0.0.
  • $newvalue (double) — the new y value, also float-y, also precise 🦋

not me noticing the first two use $eventbutton and the last two use $event — that's just how the original wrote it, so we're keeping it exactly like that, iykyk 😭
