Apache::Wyrd::Site::GDButton - Auto-generated buttons/text graphics
A wyrd to generate rectangular buttons using the GD library.
SYNOPSIS
<BASENAME::GDButton name="pushme" src="/img/pushbutton.gif" />DESCRIPTION
GDButton produces a rectangular button with given text using the GD library. It can produce either image input or img tags, as requested.
GDButton uses it's membership in the Apache::Wyrd::Site::Widget class to track changes and decide when the output file should be regenerated. Note: GDButton internally draws itself at 5x the regular size and scales down in order to make a more aesthetically pleasing final result.
HTML ATTRIBUTES
- src
-
File attribute. Must be absolute, relative, or root-dir-relative. Will seek through those options to find a writeable location and set the HTML attribute of the same to reflect the location of the output file. This file must end in either .png or .gif. The format of the output file will be determined by this file extension.
- template
-
What file to use as a base image for this button. It is located in the same way the src file is. The file can be a GIF or PNG file (it will need to have the right file extension of .gif or .png, case insensitive). The template file is copied to memory and then written to the file area indicated by the src attribute.
