PDF::Bu...age::GD(3)

💖 PDF::Builder::Resource::XObject::Image::GD 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the GD image glow-up page — this is part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and it's basically the support-routines era of the Graphics Development image library. slay. 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

PDF::Builder::Resource::XObject::Image::GD — support routines for the Graphics Development image library. it's giving helper energy, and we love that for it. ✨

Also, real quick, the way that it inherits from PDF::Builder::Resource::XObject::Image? iconic lineage, no notes. 👑

---

🦋 METHODS 🦋

✨ new ✨

$res = PDF::Builder::Resource::XObject::Image::GD->new($pdf, $file, %opts)

not me showing you the constructor first because of course we're starting there 💅. Here's what you can pass in:

• 'name' => 'string' — this is the lil name you get to give your GD image object, like naming a pet but make it pixels. 🐾 if you don't pick one, the default is Dxnnnn. yeah, literally just that.
• 'lossless' => 1 — turn this on and you get lossless compression. no quality lost, all vibes preserved. 🫶

So like, an image object gets created from GD input. 🌈

⚠️ heads up bestie: this should be invoked from Builder.pm's method. don't come for me, that's just the rule. 🙈

and that's the whole page, you ate that 💅✨
