💖 PDL::Graphics::TriD::Objects — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie so this is PDL::Graphics::TriD::Objects from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's giving simple graph objects for TriD ✨ no cap.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, first you gotta summon the module:

use PDL::Graphics::TriD::Objects;

and then it hands you this whole class hierarchy and honestly? it ate:

PDL::Graphics::TriD::GObject           (abstract) base class
├ PDL::Graphics::TriD::Points          individual points
├ PDL::Graphics::TriD::Spheres         fat 3D points :)
├ PDL::Graphics::TriD::Lines           separate lines
├ PDL::Graphics::TriD::LineStrip       continuous paths
├ PDL::Graphics::TriD::STrigrid        polygons
│ └ PDL::Graphics::TriD::STrigrid_S    polygons with normals
└ PDL::Graphics::TriD::GObject_Lattice (abstract) base class
  ├ PDL::Graphics::TriD::SCLattice     colored lattice
  ├ PDL::Graphics::TriD::SLattice      ...with color per vertex
  └ PDL::Graphics::TriD::SLattice_S    ...and with normals

look at that tree. the little └ and ├? iconic. 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this module is literally just a lil collection of classes that represent graph objects 💅 it's for internal use, bestie — it is not meant to be used by PDL users, so don't come for me if you poke it directly. 🙈

GObjects can be either stand-alone or in Graphs, and they get scaled properly either way. ✨

and here's the tea: all the points that the object uses have to live in the member {Points}. the author literally says "I guess we can afford to force data to be copied (X,Y,Z) -> (Points)..." — so yeah, the data gets copied over into {Points}, that's the vibe. 🫶

---

🦋 OBJECTS 🦋

👑 PDL::Graphics::TriD::GObject

it inherits from the base PDL::Graphics::TriD::Object, and then it adds three fields on top, bestie:

• Points
• Colors
• Options

that's it, that's the whole class. three little fields and main character energy. 💜

---

lowkey this whole thing is internal-only, so treat it like a group chat you got added to by accident — you can read it, but it wasn't written for you. 😭

okay that's the whole page, periodt. this lil baddie came from perl v5.40.1 and it was dated 2025-04-11 — shoutout to the version and the date, they carried the whole footer. 💖✨ bye bestie, go render something pretty 🦋🌈
