okay bestie, welcome to the Gtk2::ImageView::Anim page, straight out of the User Contributed Perl Documentation. sit down, hydrate, and let's get into it ✨

✨ NAME ✨

Gtk2::ImageView::Anim — a subclass of Gtk2::ImageView that's literally built to play animations 🎬

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

👑 HIERARCHY 👑

look at this family tree, she comes from good stock:

  Glib::Object
  +----Glib::InitiallyUnowned
       +----Gtk2::Object
            +----Gtk2::Widget
                 +----Gtk2::ImageView
                      +----Gtk2::ImageView::Anim

she also implements these, no big deal:

💅 METHODS 💅

🌟 widget or undef = Gtk2::ImageView::Anim->new

makes you a brand new Gtk2::ImageView::Anim, and she comes preloaded with these default values, periodt:

anim : NULL
is_playing : FALSE

🌟 pixbufanimation or undef = $aview->get_anim

hands you back the current animation of the view. that's it, that's the method 🫶

🌟 $aview->set_anim ($anim)

• $anim (Gtk2::Gdk::PixbufAnimation)

sets the pixbuf animation to play, or NULL if you'd rather not play any animation at all. valid, honestly.

the effect of this method is analoguous to Gtk2::ImageView::set_pixbuf(). fit mode gets reset to GTK_FIT_SIZE_IF_LARGER so the whole area of the animation fits in the view. and not one, not two, but three signals get emitted: first the Gtk2::ImageView will emit zoom-changed and then pixbuf-changed, and second, Gtk2::ImageView::Anim itself will emit anim-changed. three signals, one method, main character energy fr fr 🔥

the default pixbuf animation is NULL.

• aview : a Gtk2::ImageView::Anim.
• anim : a pixbuf animation to play.

🌟 boolean = $aview->get_is_playing

returns TRUE if the animation is playing, FALSE otherwise. and heads up bestie — if there's no current animation, this method will always return FALSE. no animation, no play, no exceptions 💀

🌟 $aview->set_is_playing ($playing)

• $playing (boolean)

sets whether the animation should play or not. and ngl, if there's no current animation, this method does not have any effect. it's giving "talking to a wall" 😭

• aview : a Gtk2::ImageView::Anim.
• playing : TRUE to play the animation, FALSE otherwise.

🌟 $aview->step

steps the animation one frame forward. and if the animation is playing, it will be stopped. will it wrap around if the animation is at its last frame? honestly bestie, the manpage just leaves us hanging on that one 🙈

• aview : a Gtk2::ImageView::Anim.
