NAME

GooCanvas2 - Perl binding for GooCanvas2 widget using Glib::Object::Introspection

SYNOPSIS

  	#!/usr/bin/perl -w
	use strict;
	use warnings;

	use Gtk3 -init;
	use GooCanvas2;
	
	my $window = Gtk3::Window->new();
	$window->set_default_size(640, 600);
	$window->signal_connect('destroy' => sub {Gtk3->main_quit()});

	my $scrolled_win = Gtk3::ScrolledWindow->new();
	$scrolled_win->set_shadow_type('in');

	my $canvas = GooCanvas2::Canvas->new();
	$canvas->set_size_request(600,450);
	$canvas->set_bounds(0,0,1000,1000);
	$scrolled_win->add($canvas);

	my $root = $canvas->get_root_item();

	# Add a few simple items
	my $rect_item = GooCanvas2::CanvasRect->new('parent' => $root,
						'x' => 100,
						'y' => 100,
						'width' => 300,
						'height' => 300,
						'line_width' => 10.0,
						'radius-x' => 20.0,
						'radius-y' => 10.0,
						'stroke-color' => 'yellow',
						'fill-color' => 'red');

	my $text_item = GooCanvas2::CanvasText->new('parent' => $root,
						'text' => 'Hello World',
						'x' => 300, 'y' => 300, 
						'width' => -1,
						'anchor' => 'center',
						'font' => 'Sans 24');
	$text_item->rotate(45, 300, 300);

	# Connect a signal handler for the rectangle item.
	$rect_item->signal_connect('button_press_event' => \&on_rect_button_press);

	$window->add($scrolled_win);
	$window->show_all;

	# Pass control to the Gtk3 main event loop
	Gtk3->main();

	# This handles button presses in item views. 
	#We simply output a message to the console
	sub on_rect_button_press {
		my ($item, $target, $event) = @_;
		print "rect item received button press event \n";
		return 1;
	}

INSTALLATION

You need to install the typelib file for GooCanvas-2.0. For example on Debian/Ubuntu it should be necessary to install the following package:

sudo apt-get install gir1.2-goocanvas-2.0

On Mageia for example you have to install:

urpmi lib64goocanvas-gir2.0

DESCRIPTION

GooCanvas2 is a new canvas widget for use with Gtk3 that uses the Cairo 2d library for drawing. This is a simple and basic implementation of this wonderful Canvas widget.

For more informations see https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Projects/GooCanvas

For instructions, how to use GooCanvas2, please study the API reference at https://developer.gnome.org/goocanvas/unstable/ for now. A perl-specific documentation will perhaps come in later versions. But applying the C documentation should be no problem.

OBJECTS, ITEMS, MODELS

The GooCanvas2 module provides the following objects, items and models. For more details see https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Projects/GooCanvas.

Core Objects

  • GooCanvas2::Canvas - the main canvas widget

  • GooCanvas2::CanvasItem - the interface for canvas items

  • GooCanvas2::CanvasItemModel - the interface for canvas item models.

  • GooCanvas2::CanvasItemSimple - the base class for the standard canvas items.

  • GooCanvas2::CanvasItemModelSimple - the base class for the standard canvas item models.

  • GooCanvas2::CanvasStyle - support for cascading style properties for canvas items.

Standard Canvas Items

  • GooCanvas2::CanvasGroup - a group of items.

  • GooCanvas2::CanvasEllipse - an ellipse item.

  • GooCanvas2::CanvasGrid - a grid item.

  • GooCanvas2::CanvasImage - an image item.

  • GooCanvas2::CanvasPath - a path item (a series of lines and curves).

  • GooCanvas2::CanvasPolyline - a polyline item (a series of lines with optional arrows).

  • GooCanvas2::CanvasRect - a rectangle item.

  • GooCanvas2::CanvasText - a text item.

  • GooCanvas2::CanvasWidget - an embedded widget item.

  • GooCanvas2::CanvasTable - a table container to layout items.

Standard Canvas Item Models

  • GooCanvas2::CanvasGroupModel - a model for a group of items.

  • GooCanvas2::CanvasEllipseModel - a model for ellipse items.

  • GooCanvas2::CanvasGridModel - a model for grid items.

  • GooCanvas2::CanvasImageModel - a model for image items.

  • GooCanvas2::CanvasPathModel - a model for path items (a series of lines and curves).

  • GooCanvas2::CanvasPolylineModel - a model for polyline items (a series of lines with optional arrows).

Development status and informations

Customizations and overrides

In order to make things more Perlish, GooCanvas2 customizes the API generated by Glib::Object::Introspection in a few spots:

  • The array ref normally returned by the following functions is flattened into a list:

    GooCanvas2::Canvas::get_items_at
    GooCanvas2::Canvas::get_items_in_area
    GooCanvas2::CanvasItem::get_items_at
    GooCanvas2::CanvasItem::class_list_child_properties
    GooCanvas2::CanvasItemModell::class_list_child_properties
