CountColor(3pm)

πŸ’… CountColor(3pm) β€” the lil' manual page bestie

okay so real talk, this is Imager::CountColor, a page from the perl manual fam (specifically section 3pm, the perl module girlies). it's short, it's sweet, it's giving "first day of school" energy. let's get into it πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

Imager::CountColor β€” the module that literally exists to demonstrate how you'd write a simple function using Imager. that's it. that's the whole job. icon behavior honestly πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole vibe, verbatim, no cap:

  use Imager;
  use Imager::CountColor;
  my $im = Imager->new(...); # some Imager image
  ...; # some sort of manipulation
  print count_color($im, $color_object);

like, you load up Imager, you load up Imager::CountColor, you make yourself some Imager image with Imager->new(...), you do some sort of manipulation (mysterious, love that for you ✨), and then you print count_color($im, $color_object); and boom β€” you're counting colors, bestie 🌈


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so this module is, and I cannot stress this enough, a simple demonstration of how to create an XS module that works with Imager objects. like it's not out here trying to be the main character of your codebase, it's the tutorial episode 🫢

the docs literally say you may want to copy the source for this module as a start. and honestly? yes. steal the fit. copy the source. use it as your starting point. that's what it's for πŸ’–

lowkey important reminder: this page is about a demonstration module. if you're expecting it to do wild new stuff, vibe check yourself first. it's showing you the pattern, not solving your whole life πŸ™ˆ
