Graphics::Grid::Viewport - Viewport

VERSION

version 0.0000_01

SYNOPSIS

use Graphics::Grid::Viewport;
use Graphics::Grid::GPar;

my $vp = Graphics::Grid::Viewport->new(
        x => 0.6, y => 0.6,
        width => 1, height => 1,
        angle => 45,
        gp => Graphics::Grid::GPar->new(col => "red") );

DESCRIPTION

Viewports describe rectangular regions on a graphics device and define a number of coordinate systems within those regions.

ATTRIBUTES

x

A Grahpics::Grid::Unit object specifying x-location.

Default to unit(0.5, "npc").

y

A Grahpics::Grid::Unit object specifying y-location.

Default to unit(0.5, "npc").

width

A Grahpics::Grid::Unit object specifying width.

Default to unit(1, "npc").

height

Similar to the width attribute except that it is for height.

just

The justification of the object, which consumes this role, relative to its (x, y) location.

The value is an arrayref in the form of [$hjust, $vjust], where $hjust and $vjust are two numbers for horizontal and vertical justification respectively. Each number is usually from 0 to 1, but can also beyond hat range. 0 means left alignment and 1 means right alighment.

Default is [0.5, 0.5], which means the object's center is aligned to its (x, y) position.

For example, for a rectangle which has $width and $height, and positioned at ($x, $y), the position of its left-bottom corner can be calculated in this way,

$left   = $x - $hjust * $width;
$bottom = $y - $vjust * $height;

This attribute also supports some string values. They map to numeric values like below.

string                          numeric
---------------------------     ------------
left                            [ 0,   0.5 ]
top                             [ 0.5, 1   ]
right                           [ 1,   0.5 ]
bottom                          [ 0.5, 0   ]
center | centre                 [ 0.5, 0.5 ]
bottom_left | left_bottom       [ 0,   0   ]
top_left | left_top             [ 0,   1   ]
bottom_right | right_bottom     [ 1,   0   ]
top_right | right_top           [ 1,   1   ]

hjust

A reader accessor for the horizontal justification.

vjust

A reader accessor for vertical justification.

gp

An object of Graphics::Grid::GPar. Default is an empty gpar object.

xscale

A numeric array ref of length two indicating the minimum and maximum on the x-scale. The limits may not be identical.

Default is [0, 1].

yscale

A numeric array ref of length two indicating the minimum and maximum on the y-scale. The limits may not be identical.

Default is [0, 1].

angle

A numeric value indicating the angle of rotation of the viewport. Positive values indicate the amount of rotation, in degrees, anticlockwise from the positive x-axis. Default is 0.

name

A string to uniquely identify the viewport once it has been pushed onto the viewport tree. If not specified, it would be assigned automatically.
