=head1 NAME

Catalyst::View::Graphics::Primitive - A Catalyst View for Graphics::Primitive

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  # lib/MyApp/View/GP.pm
  package MyApp::View::GP
  use base 'Catalyst::View::Graphics::Primitive';
  1;

  # configure in lib/MyApp.pm
  MyApp->config(
    ...
    'View::Graphics::Primitive' => {
        driver => 'Cairo',
        driver_args => { format => 'pdf' },
        content_type => 'application/pdf'
    }
  )

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is the L<Catalyst> view class for L<Graphics::Primitive>.  Any components
created with Graphics::Primitive can be passed to this view and rendered via
whatever driver you desire.  This view has a helper so you can create your
view in the standard Catalyst way with I<myapp_create.pl> (where I<myapp> is
replaced with your application name).

=head1 CONFIGURATION

The following configuration options can be set:

=over 4

=item I<content_type>

Sets the default content type to put into the response.

=item I<driver>

Sets the default driver to use when rendering a component.

=item I<driver_args>

Sets the arguments to pass when insantiating the driver.  A common example
for the Cairo driver would be:

  MyApp->config(
      ...
      'View::Graphics::Primitive' => {
          driver => 'Cairo',
          driver_args => { format => 'pdf' },
          content_type => 'application/pdf'
      }
  );

=back

All of these options can be overridden at request time by prefixing the name
with C<graphics_primitive_> and setting the value in the stash.  For example,
to override the driver, args and content type:

  $c->stash->{graphics_primitive_driver} = 'SomethingElse';
  $c->stash->{graphics_primitive_driver_args} = { format => 'png' };
  $c->stash->{graphics_primitive_content_type} = 'image/png';

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new

The constructor for a new Graphics::Primitive view.

=head2 process

Renders the Graphics::Primitive::Component object stored in
C<< $c->stash->{graphics_primitive} >> using the driver specified in the
configuration or in C<< $c->stash->{graphics_primitive_driver} >> (for
runtime changes). The driver will instantiated using driver_args from the
configuration or C<< $c->stash->{graphics_primitive_driver_args} >>.  The
component will then be moved through the Graphics::Primitive rendering
lifecycle as follows:

  $driver->prepare($comp);
  $driver->finalize($comp);
  if($comp->can('layout_manager')) {
      $comp->layout_manager->do_layout($comp);
  }
  $driver->draw($comp);

The result of C<draw> is then set as the body response.  The content type is
set based on the C<content_type> configuration option or the value of
C<< $c->stash->{graphics_primitive_content_type} >>.
