💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, gather round — this is Gtk2::Gdk::PixbufAnimationIter, which is literally just a wrapper for GdkPixbufAnimationIter. that's it. that's the whole job. it's the little iterator dude who hands you frames of an animated pixbuf one at a time, and perl just wraps him up all pretty so you can talk to him. 🦋

🌈 HIERARCHY 🌈

the family tree, and yes it's giving noble lineage:

Glib::Object
+----Gtk2::Gdk::PixbufAnimationIter

so like, Glib::Object is the parent, and this class is the child that went off to art school. iconic behavior honestly. 👑

✨ METHODS ✨

🎀 boolean = $iter->advance ($current_time_seconds=0, $current_time_microseconds=0)

this is the "bestie, move it along" method. you call it and it tells you whether things actually moved (a boolean, so true/false vibes). both args are optional and both default to 0, so you can just yell advance at it with no args and it'll cope. 💅

  • $current_time_seconds — an integer, the seconds part of the time you're passing in. ⏱️
  • $current_time_microseconds — also an integer, the microseconds part. yes we're being precise, we're being extra, we're being micro. 🫶

🔥 integer = $iter->get_delay_time

hands you back an integer telling you how long to wait before you come back for more. patience is a virtue but also it's a number now. 💜

🌸 boolean = $iter->on_currently_loading_frame

returns a boolean answering the deeply philosophical question: "are we, like, on the frame that is currently loading rn?" peak main character energy. the frame is loading. you are on it. 😭

⭐ pixbuf = $iter->get_pixbuf

gives you the actual pixbuf. the goods. the frame itself. this is the payoff, bestie, this is what we came for. 🎁
