Prima::...Metafile(3)

💖 Prima::Drawable::Metafile — graphics recorder 💖

okay bestie, this is the Prima::...Metafile(3) page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's literally about a graphics recorder. we're so back 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

Prima::Drawable::Metafile - graphics recorder

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Metafiles can record graphic primitives and replay them later on another canvas. that's the whole main character energy: record the primitives, replay them later on another canvas 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

my $metafile = Prima::Drawable::Metafile->new( size => [30, 30] );
$metafile->begin_paint;
$metafile->rectangle(10,10,20,20);
$metafile->end_paint;

$metafile->execute( $another_drawable, 100, 100 );

💅 API 💅

• call $SUB::($self,$canvas,@ARGS), @ARGS — $SUB will be called when the metafile is executed, with the first two parameters the metafile and the target canvas, and @ARGS thereafter.
• clear — When called without parameters, clears the content before proceeding. Otherwise same as Drawable.clear.
• execute CANVAS,X,Y — Draws the content on the CANVAS with X,Y offset.
• size X,Y — Sets the metafile extensions; the content is not clipped by it.
