Templat...onstants(3)

💖 NAME 💖

Template::Plugin::GD::Constants — Interface to GD module constants. Bestie, you’re on the Templat...onstants(3) page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and it’s giving “small Perl module, big GD energy” ✨💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Okay so the synopsis is literally this, and yes you can use it like this:

[% USE gdc = GD.Constants %]

# --> the constants gdc.gdBrushed, gdc.gdSmallFont, gdc.GD_CMP_IMAGE
#     are now available

Translation: the constants gdc.gdBrushed, gdc.gdSmallFont, and gdc.GD_CMP_IMAGE are now available. Slay 🎀

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

Here’s the example, copied with love and zero edits:

[% FILTER null;
    USE gdc = GD.Constants;
    USE im  = GD.Image(200,100);
    black = im.colorAllocate(0  ,0,  0);
    red   = im.colorAllocate(255,0,  0);
    r = im.string(gdc.gdLargeFont, 10, 10, "Large Red Text", red);
    im.png | stdout(1);
   END;
-%]

Not the gdc.gdLargeFont cameo 🔥 iconic behavior.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The GD.Constants plugin gives you access to the various GD module’s constants — think gdBrushed, gdSmallFont, gdTransparent, GD_CMP_IMAGE etc. constants everywhere, no cap 💫

When GD.pm is used in perl, it exports various contstants into the caller’s namespace. Yes, “contstants,” we’re keeping it moving 💀 This plugin makes those exported constants available as template variables.

See Template::Plugin::GD::Image and GD for further examples and details. Go check them out, bestie 🫶
