💖 Gtk2::Gdk::Rectangle — the vibe ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to Gtk2::Gdk::Rectangle, a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation manual (yes that's the manual name, we're fancy now 💅). It's literally just a wrapper for GdkRectangle, and it's here to make your rectangles behave.

---

🌸 NAME

Gtk2::Gdk::Rectangle — a wrapper for GdkRectangle 🎀

---

🦋 HIERARCHY

Look at the family tree, it's giving legacy ✨

  Glib::Boxed
  +----Gtk2::Gdk::Rectangle

So it inherits from Glib::Boxed and that's the whole lineage. Short, sweet, iconic. 👑

---

💅 METHODS

🍓 rectangle = Gtk2::Gdk::Rectangle->new ($x, $y, $width, $height)

Build yourself a brand new rectangle, no cap. Here's what you gotta feed it:

• $x (integer)
• $y (integer)
• $width (integer)
• $height (integer)

Four integers, one rectangle, slay. ✨

---

🎀 integer = $rectangle->height

🎀 oldvalue = $rectangle->height ($newvalue)

Call it with no args and it hands you the height as an integer. Call it with an arg and it sets a new one — and gives you back the oldvalue like a lil receipt 🧾

• $newvalue (integer)

---

🌈 rectangle = $src1->intersect ($src2)

Give it another rectangle and it returns the intersection. Overlap check but make it ✨math✨

• $src2 (Gtk2::Gdk::Rectangle)

---

🌈 rectangle = $src1->union ($src2)

Same energy, different result: this one returns the union of the two. One rectangle to hold them both 🫶

• $src2 (Gtk2::Gdk::Rectangle)

---

⭐ (x, y, width, height) = $rectangle->values

Not me getting all four values back at once 😭 It returns them as a list: x, y, width, height. Periodt.

---

💜 integer = $rectangle->width

💜 oldvalue = $rectangle->width ($newvalue)

Getter mode: gives you the width as an integer. Setter mode: pass a $newvalue and it updates it, handing back the oldvalue. Classic dual-purpose icon behaviour.

• $newvalue (integer)

---

🧚 integer = $rectangle->x

🧚 oldvalue = $rectangle->x ($newvalue)

Get the x as an integer, or set it by passing a $newvalue and receive the oldvalue in return. Same pattern, different coordinate. iykyk.

• $newvalue (integer)

---

🧚 integer = $rectangle->y

🧚 oldvalue = $rectangle->y ($newvalue)

You guessed it bestie — read the y as an integer, or write it with a $newvalue and get the oldvalue back.

• $newvalue (integer)
