Gtk2::G...ibility(3)

💖 NAME 💖

Gtk2::Gdk::Event::Visibility — bestie, this is the event object that slides into your callback when something in the window gets covered up or revealed. It's a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's lowkey one of the chillest little event classes in the whole Gtk2 family. 🦋

---

✨ HIERARCHY ✨

The family tree, and yes it's giving nepo baby energy:

Gtk2::Gdk::Event
+----Gtk2::Gdk::Event::Visibility

So it inherits everything from Gtk2::Gdk::Event (the main character) and adds its own little visibility-specific glow-up on top. 💅

🌸 METHODS 🌸

visibilitystate = $eventvisibility->state ($newvalue=0)

Okay so this is the method. You call it and it hands you back a visibilitystate — aka how visible/obscured this event thinks the region is. 🫶

• $newvalue — a Gtk2::Gdk::VisibilityState (optional, defaults to 0). It's an argument you can pass in; the signature literally writes it as $newvalue=0.

Not me casually pointing out that this is the only method on this class. Iconic minimalism, honestly. No filler, no bloat, just vibes and one accessor. 😭

🎀 ENUMS AND FLAGS 🎀

enum Gtk2::Gdk::VisibilityState

The three states of "can anyone see me rn", ranked from fully out there to fully hidden:

• 'unobscured' / GDK_VISIBILITY_UNOBSCURED — nothing's covering it, she's out here living her truth in the open. ✨
• 'partial' / GDK_VISIBILITY_PARTIAL — kind of covered, kind of not. It's giving situationship. 🌈
• 'fully-obscured' / GDK_VISIBILITY_FULLY_OBSCURED — completely hidden, tucked away, no one can see her. Respect the privacy era. 🙈

Note the flag strings on the left are the Perl-side names, and the GDK_VISIBILITY_* ones are the C constants — same energy, different outfit. 💜
