Wx::GLCanvas(3pm)

πŸ’… Wx::GLCanvas ✨

okay so bestie, this is the Wx::GLCanvas page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual β€” it's Wx::GLCanvas(3pm) if you're being ✨formal✨ about it. she's a tiny little page but she's iconic and we're gonna give her the full treatment anyway πŸŽ€


🌸 NAME 🌸

Wx::GLCanvas β€” it's your lil interface to wxWidgets' OpenGL canvas πŸ–ΌοΈβœ¨ like that's literally the whole thing she does and she does it gorgeously.


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

okay here's the vibe, copy-paste coded and everything, no cap:

use OpenGL; # or any other module providing OpenGL API
use Wx::GLCanvas;

yes that's it. two lines. she's low maintenance, she's a queen πŸ‘‘ and note that the comment is fr fr part of the deal β€” pull in OpenGL or literally any other module that gives you an OpenGL API, that part's on you bestie 🫢


🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

here's the tea, and it's a short one: the docs for this module? they're not sitting here all alone. nope β€” they live inside the main wxPerl distribution, filed under wxGLCanvas πŸ’–

so if you were like "where do I read more" β€” that's where. go look at wxGLCanvas in the main wxPerl distro, that's the main character here, and this module is basically her little sibling tagging along 🌈

perl v5.42.3 🌸 and the date on this whole thing is 2026-08-21 β€” so this little charm was generated then, and honestly? she's still serving. love that for her. bye bestie, go render something pretty πŸ¦‹βœ¨πŸ’–
