💖 Gtk2::Sexy::Tooltip 💖

okay bestie, so this is Gtk2::Sexy::Tooltip — a lil Perl module from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the internet, and it's exactly what it sounds like: a tooltip. Like, the little popup that shows up when you hover over stuff. She's cute, she's a whole window, and she's ready to position herself wherever you need her. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

Gtk2::Sexy::Tooltip — no cap, that's the whole name, that's her government name, that's what you type.

👑 HIERARCHY 👑

the family tree fr fr. she did NOT come from nothing, she comes from a long line of distinguished ancestors:

Glib::Object
+----Glib::InitiallyUnowned
     +----Gtk2::Object
          +----Gtk2::Widget
               +----Gtk2::Container
                    +----Gtk2::Bin
                         +----Gtk2::Window
                              +----Gtk2::Sexy::Tooltip

like look at that lineage. Glib::Object at the top being the original main character, and Gtk2::Sexy::Tooltip all the way at the bottom being the fresh new girlie who inherited everything. generational wealth of methods honestly. 💅

🦋 INTERFACES 🦋

she's not just a pretty face, she also implements:

  • Glib::Object::_Unregistered::AtkImplementorIface
  • Gtk2::Buildable

so she's buildable, she's accessible-ish, she's doing the most. versatile queen. ✨

⭐ METHODS ⭐

this is the part you actually came for, bestie. sit down, hydrate, take notes. 🍓

🧚 widget = Gtk2::Sexy::Tooltip->new

the classic. no arguments, no notes. you call new, you get a tooltip widget back. blank canvas energy. build her up yourself. 🌈

🎀 widget = Gtk2::Sexy::Tooltip->new_with_label ($text)

same thing but she comes with a label already, like she pre-gamed before the party. arguments:

  • $text — a string. that's the text that goes on the tooltip. yes, that's it, that's the whole thing. 💜

🔥 $tooltip->position_to_rect ($rect, $screen)

tell the tooltip to position herself relative to a rectangle on a screen. takes:

  • $rect — a Gtk2::Gdk::Rectangle. the rectangle she's positioning herself to. 📐
  • $screen — a Gtk2::Gdk::Screen. which screen we're talking about, because sometimes there's more than one, iykyk.

💅 $tooltip->position_to_widget ($widget)

position the tooltip relative to a widget instead. takes:

  • $widget — a Gtk2::Widget. the widget in question. she'll figure out where to pop up. iconic behavior. ✨
