NAME¶
"Tickit::Rect" - a lightweight data structure representing a rectangle
SYNOPSIS¶
use Tickit::Rect; my $rect = Tickit::Rect->new( top => 0, left => 5, lines => 3, cols => 10 );
DESCRIPTION¶
Objects in this class represent a rectangle, by storing the top left corner coordinate and the size in lines and columns. This data structure is purely abstract and not tied to a particular window or coordinate system. It exists simply as a convenient data store containing some useful utility methods.
CONSTRUCTORS¶
new¶
$rect = Tickit::Rect->new( %args )
Construct a new rectangle of the given geometry, given by "top", "left" and either "lines" and "cols", or "bottom" and "right".
$rect = Tickit::Rect->new( $str )
If given a single string, this will be parsed in the form
(left,top)..(right,bottom)
intersect¶
$rect = $existing_rect->intersect( $other_rect )
If there is an intersection between the given rectangles, return it. If not, return "undef".
translate¶
$rect = $existing_rect->translate( $downward, $rightward )
Returns a new rectangle of the same size as the given one, moved down and to the right by the given argmuents (which may be negative)
ACCESSORS¶
top¶
left¶
bottom¶
right¶
$top = $rect->top $left = $rect->left $bottom = $rect->bottom $right = $rect->right
Return the edge boundaries of the rectangle.
lines¶
cols¶
$lines = $rect->lines $cols = $rect->cols
Return the size of the rectangle.
linerange¶
@lines = $rect->linerange( $min, $max )
A convenient shortcut to generate the list of lines covered that are within the given bounds (either bound may be given as "undef"). Without bounds, equivalent to:
$rect->top .. $rect->bottom - 1
METHODS¶
equals¶
$bool = $rect->equals( $other ) $bool = ( $rect == $other )
Returns true if $other represents the same area as $rect. This method overloads the numerical equality operator ("==").
contains¶
$bool = $rect->contains( $other )
Returns true if $other is entirely contained within the bounds of $rect.
intersects¶
$bool = $rect->intersects( $other )
Returns true if $other and $rect intersect at all, even if they overlap.
add¶
@r = $rect->add( $other )
Returns a list of the non-overlapping regions covered by either $rect or $other.
In the trivial case that the two given rectangles do not touch, the result will simply be a list of the two initial rectangles. Otherwise a list of newly-constructed rectangles will be returned that covers the same area as the original two. This list will contain anywhere between 1 and 3 rectangles.
subtract¶
@r = $rect->subtract( $other )
Returns a list of the non-overlapping regions covered by $rect but not by $other.
In the trivial case that $other completely covers $rect then the empty list is returned. In the trivial case that $other and $rect do not intersect then a list containing $rect is returned. Otherwise, a list of newly-constructed rectangles will be returned that covers the required area. This list will contain anywhere between 1 and 4 rectangles.
