VERSION

This document describes WWW::Slides::SlideTracker version 0.0.3

SYNOPSIS

    use WWW::Slides::SlideTracker;

    my $tracker = WWW::Slides::SlideTracker->new(
      slide_show => $slide_show,  # e.g. WWW::Slides::SlideShow
      current    => 2,            # starting slide
    );

    my $current_id = $tracker->current();
    my $current_id = $tracker->get_current(); # alias
    $tracker->goto(3);

    my $next_id = $tracker->get_next();
    $tracker->goto_next();

    my $previous_id = $tracker->get_next();
    $tracker->goto_previous();

    my $first_id = $tracker->get_next();
    $tracker->goto_first();

    my $last_id = $tracker->get_next();
    $tracker->goto_last();

    $tracker->mark_current();    # set current slide as marked
    print 'unserved' if $tracker->current_still_unserved();
    print 'served' if $tracker->already_served_current();
    
  

DESCRIPTION

This module is generally not meant for usage outside WWW::Slides::Talk or WWW::Slides::Attendee. Changes without notice are possible albeit not much probable.

Slides can be marked for later reference. This is useful, for example, to track which slides have been already sent to a given Attendee, in order to avoid re-sending of the slide's data (which could also make a mess putting two divs with the same id-s).

The method names are pretty self-explanatory.

INTERFACE

There are four main groups of methods:

• constructor;

• slide marking management;

• slide transition peeking;

• slide transition actuation.

Constructor

The constructor method is named new and accepts the following arguments:

slide_show (mandatory)

any WWW::Slides::SlideShow interface compliant object.

current (optional)

the slide where the tracker should be set first. Defaults to the slide id given back as id_first() from the slide_show object described above.

Slide Marking Management

This group can handle a mark for each slide, setting the mark and retrieving the mark status. Note that at the moment there is no way to un-mark a slide.

There are three methods in this area:

mark_current()

Set a mark on the current slide.

already_served_current()

True if there is a mark on the current slide, false otherwise.

current_still_unserved()

True if the current slide has no mark, false otherwise. This is the exact negation of already_served_current(), just syntactic sugar.

Slide Transition Peeking

These methods allow to peek which slide would be set after a given transition. These are also the functions internally used by the "Slide Transition Actuation" functions decribed in the next paragraph.

There are five methods in this area:

current() or get_current()

get_first()

get_last()

get_previous()

get_next()

Names are sufficiently self-explanatory. Note that previous and next are intended with respect to the current slide.

Slide Transition Actuation

These methods allow the tracker to make a transition to a given slide. Note that a transition does NOT mean that the slide will be marked, you have to call the marking methods explicitly.

These are the methods in this area:

goto($slide_no)

Goto the given $slide_no. Consistency check will be on for this method (as opposed to set_current(), see below), for this reason this is the suggested method to use.

set_current($slide_no)

Goto the given $slide_no. No consistency check will be done for this. Use goto(), it's more robust.

goto_first()

goto_last()

goto_previous()

goto_next()

Names are sufficiently self-explanatory. Note that previous and next are intended with respect to the current slide.

DIAGNOSTICS

Shouldn't balk at you.
