Imager::Handy(3pm)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this is Imager::Handy(3pm), straight from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section 💖 It's literally simple access to common functions — shortcut queen energy, no cap. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use Imager ':handy';
my $color = NC(255, 0, 0);
my $font = NF(1.0, 0, 0);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

If you use Imager with the :handy import tag, it will export a number of functions that can shorter your code 😭✨ yes bestie, that's the wording — we keep the facts, not the grammar.

💖 NC(), newcolor(), newcolour() 💖

Create a new Imager::Color object, supplying any parameters to the new() method. slay 🎀

my $color = NC('red');

🌈 NF(), newfont() 🌈

Create a new Imager::Font object, supplying any parameters to the new() method. font bestie behavior 🦋

my $font = NF(file => 'foo.ttf');

⭐ NCF() ⭐

Create a new Imager::Color::Float object, supplying any parameters to the new() method. floaty color moment ✨

my $colorf = NCF(1.0, 0, 0);

💀 BUGS 💀

NC() can be mostly replaced by supplying the color name or other description directly to the drawing method. Keyword: mostly 👀 — that's the whole bug note, bestie.
