A Thought…
George Bernard Shaw, to Winston Churchill:
PLEASE ATTEND FIRST NIGHT MY NEW PLAY. WILL HOLD TWO TICKETS FOR YOU. BRING FRIEND IF YOU HAVE ONE.
Churchill’s reply to Shaw:
IMPOSSIBLE ATTEND FIRST NIGHT. WILL ATTEND SECOND NIGHT IF YOU HAVE ONE.
NAME
PDF::Builder::Basic::PDF::Page - Represents a PDF page
Inherits from PDF::Builder::Basic::PDF::Pages
DESCRIPTION
Represents a page of output in PDF. It also keeps track of the content stream, any resources (such as fonts) being switched, etc.
Page inherits from Pages due to a number of shared methods. They are really structurally quite different.
INSTANCE VARIABLES
A page has various working variables:
- ' curstrm'
-
The currently open stream
METHODS
new
PDF::Builder::Basic::PDF::Page->new($pdf, $parent, $index)Creates a new page based on a pages object (perhaps the root object).
The page is also added to the parent at this point, so pages are ordered in a PDF document in the order in which they are created rather than in the order they are closed.
Only the essential elements in the page dictionary are created here, all others are either optional or can be inherited.
The optional index value indicates the index in the parent list that this page should be inserted (so that new pages need not be appended)
ship_out
$p->ship_out($pdf)Ships the page out to the given output file context
