Gtk2::G...mpleAnim(3)

✨ NAME ✨

Gtk2::Gdk::PixbufSimpleAnim — bestie, it's a lil wrapper for GdkPixbufSimpleAnim 💖

(also hi, you're reading the Gtk2::G...mpleAnim(3) page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, welcome to the group chat 🫶)

---

🌸 HIERARCHY 🌸

okay so the family tree is giving noble lineage, everyone say thank you Glib::Object:

Glib::Object
+----Gtk2::Gdk::PixbufAnimation
     +----Gtk2::Gdk::PixbufSimpleAnim

so it's a Glib::Object at heart, then it's a Gtk2::Gdk::PixbufAnimation, and then it's the simple-anim version. three layers of iconic, no cap 💅

---

💖 METHODS 💖

🎀 pixbufsimpleanim = Gtk2::Gdk::PixbufSimpleAnim->new ($width, $height, $rate)

the constructor!! make a brand new simple animation from scratch ✨ here's what you gotta hand it:

• $width (integer) — how wide bestie is
• $height (integer) — how tall bestie is
• $rate (double) — the rate, the speed, the tempo, the main character pacing 🏃♀️

---

🦋 $animation->add_frame ($pixbuf)

slap another frame onto the animation. that's it, that's the method 🌈

• $pixbuf (Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf) — the frame you're adding, obviously

---

⭐ boolean = $animation->get_loop

does it loop or does it not, let's find out 🔍

Since: gtk+ 2.18

---

🌸 $animation->set_loop ($loop)

tell the animation whether to loop. yes queen, go in circles forever if you want to 👑

• $loop (boolean)

Since: gtk+ 2.18

---

💅 PROPERTIES 💅

• 'loop' (boolean : default false : readable / writable) — Whether the animation should loop when it reaches the end

so by default it does NOT loop, she plays once and she's done, one-woman show, no encore 😭 but you can read it and write it, so flip it whenever you feel like it 💖
