NAME

Graphics::Grid::Functions - Function interface for Graphics::Grid

VERSION

version 0.0000_03

SYNOPSIS

use Graphics::Grid::Functions qw(:all);

grid_driver( width => 900, height => 300, format => 'svg' );
grid_rect();    # draw white background

for my $setting (
    { color => 'red',   x => 1 / 6 },
    { color => 'green', x => 0.5 },
    { color => 'blue',  x => 5 / 6 }
  )
{
    push_viewport(
        viewport( x => $setting->{x}, y => 0.5, width => 0.2, height => 0.6 ) );
    grid_rect( gp => { fill => $setting->{color}, lty => 'blank' } );
    grid_text( label => $setting->{color}, y => -0.1 );

    pop_viewport();
}

grid_write("foo.svg");

DESCRIPTION

This is the function interface for Graphics::Grid. In this package it has a global Graphics::Grid object, on which the functions are operated.

FUNCTIONS

unit(%params)

It's equivalent to Graphics::Grid::Unit->new.

viewport(%params)

It's equivalent to Graphics::Grid::Viewport->new.

gpar(%params)

It's equivalent to Graphics::Grid::GPar->new.

push_viewport($viewport)

It's equivalent to Graphics::Grid's push_viewport method.

pop_viewport($n=1)

It's equivalent to Graphics::Grid's pop_viewport method.

up_viewport($n=1)

It's equivalent to Graphics::Grid's up_viewport method.

down_viewport($from_tree_node, $name)

It's equivalent to Graphics::Grid's down_viewport method.

seek_viewport($name)

It's equivalent to Graphics::Grid's seek_viewport method.

${grob_type}_grob(%params)

This creates a grob object.

$grob_type can be one of following,

  • circle

  • lines

  • points

  • polygon

  • polyline

  • rect

  • segments

  • text

  • null

  • zero

grid_${grob_type}(%params)

This creates a grob, and draws it. This is equivalent to Graphics::Grid's ${grob_type}(...) method.

See above for possible $grob_type.

gtree(%params)

It's equivalent to Graphics::Grid::GTree->new.

grid_draw($grob)

It's equivalent to Graphics::Grid's draw method.

grid_driver(:$driver='Cairo', %rest)

Set the device driver. If you don't run this function, the default driver will be effective.

If $driver consumes Graphics::Grid::Driver, $driver is assigned to the global Graphics::Grid object, and %rest is ignored.

grid_driver(driver => Graphics::Grid::Driver::Cairo->new(...));

If $driver is a string, a Graphics::Grid::Driver::$driver object is created with %rest as construction parameters, and is assigned to the global Graphics::Grid object.

grid_driver(driver => 'Cairo', width => 800, height => 600);

You may run it at the the beginning of you code. At present changing driver settings at the middle is not guarenteed to work.

This function returns current width and height.

my $driver = grid_device();

grid_write($filename)

It's equivalent to Graphics::Grid's write method.
