NAME

SVG::Rasterize::Engine::PangoCairo - rasterize output using Cairo

VERSION

Version 0.003007

SYNOPSIS

  # explicit construction (unusual)
  use SVG::Rasterize::Engine::PangoCairo;
  my $engine = SVG::Rasterize::Engine::PangoCairo->new
      (width  => 640, height => 480);

DESCRIPTION

This class provides a rasterization backend for SVG::Rasterize based on the Cairo and Pango libraries.

This class is only instantiated by the rasterize method of SVG::Rasterize.

This documentation focues on this specific implementation. For a more general description of the engine interface see SVG::Rasterize::Engine.

INTERFACE

Constructors

new

  SVG::Rasterize::Engine::PangoCairo->new(%args)

Creates a new SVG::Rasterize::Engine::PangoCairo object and calls init(%args). If you subclass SVG::Rasterize::Engine::PangoCairo overload init, not new.

init

  $cairo->init(%args)

If you overload init, your method should also call this one. It initializes the attributes width and height which are mandatory parameters and have to be non-negative integers.

Other backends are also required to validate their init parameters because the engine_args hash given by the user to SVG::Rasterize is handed over to the new constructor of the engine class without validation.

Public Attributes

Methods for Developers

See <SVG::Rasterize::Engine|SVG::Rasterize::Engine>.

draw_path

text_width

draw_text

write

  $engine->write(%args)

Writes the rendered image to a file.

Example:

  $engine->write(type => 'png', file_name => 'foo.png');

type and file_name are the only supported parameters at the moment and the only supported type is "png". If file_name has a false value, no output is written and a warning is issued. Besides that, file_name is not validated at all. Make sure that you provide a sane value (whatever that means to you).

Internal Methods

These methods are just documented for myself. You can read on to satisfy your voyeuristic desires, but be aware of that they might change or vanish without notice in a future version.

  • _prepare_fill

  • _prepare_stroke

  • _fill

  • _stroke

  • _fill_and_stroke

  • make_ro_accessor

    This piece of documentation is mainly here to make the POD coverage test happy. SVG::Rasterize::State overloads make_ro_accessor to make the readonly accessors throw an exception object (of class SVG::Rasterize::Exception::Attribute) instead of just croaking.
